  3. an amount of money that a person who has been accused of a crime pays to a law court so that they can be released until their trial.
    dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/bail
    A written or oral promise is not always enough to guarantee a suspect will appear in court on the scheduled date, if he is released from police custody. For this reason, most suspects are required to deposit money with the courts, which will be returned when the legal proceedings are complete. This system is referred to as “bail.”
    Bail is the money a defendant pays as a guarantee that they will show up in court at a later date. A failure to return triggers the bond obligation and allows the court to keep any money given as security.
