History of the Bail Concept

Keeping Families Together During Difficult Times

Bail exists to help ensure people make all required court appearances, not to punish them.

Hundreds of years ago, the King in England could jail someone indefinitely, without any right to bail. Citizens fought back, leading to the English Bill of Rights. The U.S. later adopted the same protections in the 8th Amendment, which requires that bail be fair and not excessive.

When a person makes all required court appearances, the judge will exonerate the bail at the end of the case.
