    Not bail specifically, it’s a bond. A bail keeps you out of jail until a court judgement has been made, a bond keeps the court from taking your assets away to pay off a debt (including from a previous judgement). The bond is held by the court until appeal is over, then given to the winning party when the final judgment is in.
