Cash bail requires the full amount of bail to be paid upfront in cash or certified funds. Bail bonds, on the other hand, only require a percentage of the bail amount to be paid upfront, typically 10%. This makes bail bonds a more affordable option for many people who cannot afford to pay the full amount in cash.

If the defendant is arrested again while out on bail, their bail bond may be revoked and they may be sent back to jail until their trial. Additionally, James Bail Bonds Miami may take steps to recover any collateral that was put up to secure the bail bond.
