Question: 1 / 400

To 'Jump Bail' means to?

Succeed in escaping from jail

Fail to appear in court as required

When a person is arrested and bail is set, they can either pay the full amount to be released or they can use a bail bond. A bail bond is when a person pays a percentage of the bail amount and a bail bondsman covers the rest. If a person chooses to use a bail bond, they are required to appear in court when scheduled. If they do not show up, they are considered to have 'jumped bail'. This does not necessarily mean they have escaped from jail, but rather they have failed to fulfill their responsibility of showing up to court. Option A is incorrect because escaping from jail is a separate act and does not necessarily involve bail. Option C is incorrect because 'jumping bail' does not involve physically jumping over a bail bond. Option D is incorrect because paying off a bail bond does not have the same meaning as 'jumping bail'.
