When they say, someone has to post a 150,000 dollar bond, do they really have to pay that much to get someone out of jail???

Only 10 %, get out your checkbook /contact bail bondsman.Forfeiture of bonds relates to people who don't comply with court orders/appearances, and houses can be used as collateral to support a bond.

What happens depends on the state your in. Some states allow a "Bondsman" to post the bond. You pay him around 10 to 20% of the bond to post it with the court. At the end of the trial that is returned to him and he keeps your money too. Other states require that you post the entire amount yourself. Bonds are usually much lower in these states but harsh enough some property needs to be put up.

that depends on if there is shurity on the bail or not. if there is then you only have to pay 10% of the bail, but this is not a bond. with a bond you get your money back when the person appears in court. with sureity you loose all your money, it is the price you pay for getting out of jail. most large bail amounts only allow for cash or bond release. either come up with the cash or have a band drafted by a licensed bail bondsman. either way the money is then presented to the bond officer who will release the person on the bond. whoever bonds you out is the person who you are released to, that means you are supposed to report to that person anything you are doing and that person then reports to the bond office. if you screw up then your bond can be revoked and you go back to prison to await trial.

$150,000.00 bond? What did they do? That's a pretty steep bond to be something minor.
Find a bail bondsman (yellow pages). See if they want to take a chance on him. Bondsmen usually charge 10% of the bail amount, in this case about $15,000.00. If the person shows up in court on time, you get your money back. If they skip out, you lose the money. It's bondsmen that hire 'bounty hunters' to track them down and bring them back to court.
If the judge says 'cash bond', the whole amount must be paid and is forfeited if they don't show for the court date. You lose it all.

Usually not, I think its like 10% down through a bail bondsman. And then you pay them back.
