A bondsman & a criminal defense lawyer, Neil Shouse explain the costs of posting bail bonds in California. The Department of Insurance regulates the bail industry. There are two allowable premium rates: 8% and 10%. Discounts in some bail situations may be available. "Bail" refers to the money that you must post with the court in order to be released from jail. It is a way of ensuring the court that you will attend your future court appearances.
