I'm an idiot, how does bail work? The court sets an amount and you have to pay it like a bribe and you don't ever get it back? Or do you get it back at some point, so it's like holding collateral or whatever.
You get it back at the end of your court case, so this amount is chosen specifically to make it difficult for Kyle (or anyone) to be freed.
In states with bail bonds, you pay less of the announced bail amount (10% of it) but you don't get that back - instead that 10% goes to paying the bail bondsman for their "service".
