No. When posting bail (bond) you pay a bondsman an amount negotiated usually 10% of the total bail amount. Example $50,000 bail, you pay the bondsman $5,000 then put up co-lateral worth $50,000 and the bondsman is the one to pay the State/Court the balance.
If the person on bail forfeits (skips out) on the bail then the collateral becomes property of the bondsman. The original $5,000 is how the bondsman earns his living.
Bail money is used to make sure someone shows up to court. If they show up their money is given back. If someone uses a bail bondsman they charge a percentage for covering the bond and they don't get any of the money back.
