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.

No, BAIL money is not returned, if you use a BAIL BONDSMAN, If you post the FULL BAIL AMOUNT with the clerk of the jail or court they will refund your money and proceedings are over and the defendant is finally sentenced. Paying a bondsman is usually ten percent of the bail money that the court sets. This is their fee that they charge in the event that you do not have the full amount of bail that the court sets. Bail is used to insure that someone will show up to their court hearing. If they show up and are there throughout the trial, at the end, whether they are guilty or innocent, the bail money is returned.
