I believe you have the bail system pretty close, but not quite.  The 
court requires that the full bond be posted regardless.  To use a bail 
bondsman you give the bondsman 10% which you will not get back.  The 
bail bondsman puts up the full amount and usually requires collateral 
such as a house.  Whoever contracts with the bail bondsman is ultimately 
responsible for the full bail amount if it is lost.  The bail bondsman 
has a lot of leeway in pursuing a fugitive and recovering the bail 
money.  Once you flee they are rather unhappy people.  8-o
