I'm assuming you mean the private system of bail bonding and bounty hunting. The positive is it makes it possible for more people to make bond who would otherwise be in jail waiting for their court date. The negative, is private companies have the greatest interest in securing the appearance of these people in court. Which means that if one of their clients absconds, that they will employ the least expensive method to find and capture the client. This usually involves hiring armed people who are not answerable to any government agency, and are not bound by any of the restrictions imposed on law enforcement agents who are motivated only by the prospect of finding the bail skipper in the shortest possible amount of time.

Bail is not guaranteed in cases where the court deems the individual to be a flight risk, a danger to society, or if there is a serious risk of obstruction of justice. Additionally, bail may not be offered in cases involving serious offenses such as murder or terrorism.
bail out
That is the correct spelling for the verb bail, here used as slang to mean leave (from bail out).
Interim bail is bail that has been posted after a release from jail. This bail is posted as a continuance until trial.
Bail can be refunded when that bail has bee posted directly to the court and the and the court has ruled the bail has been exonerated.
When you are out on bail it is similar to probation in that the court system is allowing you out under certain conditions. These conditions almost always include the non-use of drugs or alcohol. They can require you to submit to random testing and you have to comply or your bail will be revoked and you will sit in jail.
If you cannot afford to pay the bail, 99% of the time you can get a bail bondsman. Sometimes, if the bail is not a lot, they won't pay it.
this is called a deposit bail. A bail bond is when you have someone else pay your bail.
