Bail - the amount will be fixed by court and will be returned to you after your trial.. . Bond - no money instead of that Human. . U have to bring someone and the person have to agree the terms of if u escaped or missing in action without attending the hearing/trial then the some1 sign for the bond will be arrested.

The terms are often used interchangeably. I understand the terms as follows: Bail is the amount the court holds to ensure someone appears in court. It is returned after the trial. Bond usually refers to an amount equal to 10% of the bail that is paid to a bondsman or the court acting as a bondsman to as a fee for posting bail. This amount is not refundable. My source is various TV shows and should be relied on to the same degree.

Bond is more for someone using a bondsman service to pay for it. Some felonies cost thousands for bail money.
