In the federal system, pretrial release is governed by the Bail Reform Act, and there is no cash bail bondsman system. Instead, a person is either released on conditions—often secured by property or co-signers—or detained pending trial if the court finds they pose a flight risk or a danger to the community. Even if bail is initially denied, an experienced criminal defense attorney may still be able to secure release by presenting a comprehensive bail package and making a strong argument in court.
