How does the govt make money on bail?
In fact, I'm pretty sure they don't. You don't have to put it up in cash either. They'll hold a deed to your house if you've got the equity.
Now bailbondsmen, that's another story.

Hmm, I thought they took a small percent (they do take an administrative fee, which is probably above cost), even less than the bondsmen. Maybe it varies state by state? Or perhaps not at all. Regardless, it's not a "PSU Football" issue.
