Bail is an agreement between a suspect or accused person with the police/court that the accused person will attend court when required, and that should the accused person fail to appear, the court may issue warrants of arrest, and order forfeiture of the amount deposited.
A bond is an undertaking entered into by an accused person to comply with conditions set by the court as a condition for his/her release while awaiting or continuing with trial.
Processing time: Once bail is posted, the jail needs to process the paperwork and verify the funds before releasing the defendant. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the jail's workload and staffing levels.
