Well, this means that if you are arrested for any type of criminal offense, your innocence is maintained until you appear in court for a fair and just hearing in front of a judge. So where do bail bonds fit into this?

A bail bond is a type of surety offered to a court of law. It is offered as a type of insurance that states that if you are released from jail you will willfully return on the assigned date of your court hearing. If you do not return, all moneys will not be refunded and a warrant will be issued for the alleged criminal’s arrest.

They allow this because of the original topic of discussion; “Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law”. Because our justice systems assumes innocence until convicted in court they need to offer some type of option to let you out of jail until your hearing.
