    Hello rara:

    It's a promise to pay the court the amount of the bond if the defendant doesn't show up. It costs about 10% of its face value.

    I think you also need a bondsman (bondsperson?) - I don't think the Courts will take (and hold) an individual's money any longer.

    Some states still hold the money at the Clerk's office. Check your state. Ohio does.
