Which of the following is a characteristic of the "10% bond" type of release?

The inmate must pay 10% of their bail amount
The bond is in cash only
The inmate is released without a monetary condition
The bond must be secured by a property deed

The correct answer is: The inmate must pay 10% of their bail amount

The "10% bond" refers to a system where an inmate can be released from custody by paying only 10% of the total bail amount set by the court. This type of bond is designed to provide a financial incentive for the inmate to return for their court appearances while reducing the overall cost of bail. When the inmate pays this percentage, they are not required to pay the full bail amount, making it more accessible for individuals who may struggle to afford the entire bail. In this scenario, the remaining 90% of the bail amount is typically held, and if the inmate appears as required, this amount is often refunded or not charged. This facilitates their release while still holding a financial responsibility for compliance with the court's conditions. The other options do not accurately describe the "10% bond" system; for instance, it is not limited to cash only, does involve a monetary condition, and is not secured by a property deed. Understanding the nuances of different bond types is crucial for comprehending the bail system and the various options available to inmates seeking release.
