Bail size refers to the amount of money set by a court that a defendant must pay to be released from custody while awaiting trial. The amount is intended to ensure that the defendant returns for their court dates and is determined based on factors like the severity of the alleged crime, the defendant's criminal history, and their potential flight risk. Bail can be paid in cash, through a bail bond, or other accepted forms, and is often refunded if the defendant complies with all court requirements.
