<P> Bail is money or some form of property that is deposited or pledged to a court , in order to secure the release from custody or jail of a suspect who has been arrested , with the understanding that the suspect will return for their trial and required court appearances . Bail is a mechanism to release suspects from imprisonment pre-trial , while ensuring their return for trial . If the suspect does not return to court , the bail is forfeited , and the suspect may possibly be brought up on charges of the crime of failure to appear . If the suspect returns to make all their required appearances , bail is returned after the trial is concluded . In some cases , bail money may be returned at the end of the trial , if all court appearances are made , regardless of whether the person is found guilty or not guilty of the crime accused . </P>
