  6. Bail bond & Surety Bond:

    A Bail is granted to an accused with or without sureties. In the case of self-recognizance bail (personal bond), the offender alone signs the bail bond.

    Surety bond: A third party called surety (a person not the offender) signs the bond for the offender’s appearance or otherwise as directed in the bond. If the conditions in the bail bond are disobeyed the surety must help the police or court to locate the suspect or pay the sum in the bail bond.
