English Synonyms and Antonyms
bail
The first four words agree in denoting something given or deposited as an assurance of something to be given, paid, or done. An earnest is of the same kind as that to be given, a portion of it delivered in advance, as when part of the purchase-money is paid, according to the common expression, "to bind the bargain." A pledge or security may be wholly different in kind from that to be given or paid, and may greatly exceed it in value. Security may be of real or personal property — anything of sufficient value to make the creditor secure; a pledge is always of personal property or chattels. Every pawnshop contains unredeemed pledges; land, merchandise, bonds, etc., are frequently offered and accepted as security. A person may become security or surety for another's payment of a debt, appearance in court, etc.; in the latter case, he is said to become bail for that person; the person accused gives bail for himself. Gage survives only as a literary word, chiefly in certain phrases; as, "the gage of battle."
Synonyms:
earnest, gage, pledge, security, suretyPreposition:
Security for the payment of a debt; security to the state, for the prisoner, in the sum of a thousand dollars.

How to use bail in a sentence?
Bail reform is not the only problem here. The double-digit increases in shootings, robberies, burglaryand thefts arent the product of any single law or policy, they are all the result of failed leadership and a political culture that denigrates and devalues the work police officers do.
A bail agent can go get the defendant and haul him back to jail, you know it commonly as a bounty hunter. Charitable bail has no authority to make that person go to court.
Weve all been told that during the pandemic we needed to release people early, you know, with less than 30 days on their sentence and things like that because of the underlying health pandemic and the fact that we needed to exercise social distancing within the custodial facilities, however, as you know, in the United States today there is a social justice agenda to end bail for those who are incarcerated and this has gone too far.
The interstate task force on illegal guns is an important first step. But we must also address bail reform and our pre-trial detention system, new York is the only state in the country that does not allow a judge to detain a defendant who poses an immediate threat to the community. Other states, as well as the federal government, allow judges to consider a defendant’s dangerousness.
Countries that quit producing real products, spend more than they produce, lag in education, burden their middle class with higher taxes, and continue to import billions from other countries, bail out failed businesses and reward bad behavior instead of investing in good businesses, will eventually lose their leadership and wealth
