It is a bit confusing. But basically, lets say you are arrested and your bond is $1000. But you can't come up with $1000. You can contact a bondsman and they will put up the $1000 bond and charge you a set fee (usually 10%, but can be more if you are risk or less if they know you)
So you pay the bondsman $100 and he gets you out of jail. The catch is, you never get that $100 back. It is his fee and gone forever. That is how he makes the money. He will collect a bunch of information on you and make sure you show up to court, so he isn't out the $1000.
