What is indicated by the term 'bond out'?

A suspect has completed their sentence
A prisoner is going to post bail and be released
A bond has been denied
All charges against a suspect have been dropped

The correct answer is: A prisoner is going to post bail and be released

The term 'bond out' specifically refers to the process where a prisoner posts bail in order to be released from custody while awaiting trial or other proceedings. When someone 'bonds out,' it means they have met the financial requirements set by the court to secure their temporary release. This can involve either the full amount being paid or the use of a bail bondsman who takes a percentage as a fee. This term is commonly used within the legal and law enforcement fields to indicate a significant step in the court process that allows an accused individual to remain out of jail while their case is ongoing.
