Under laws in Wales and England, bail refers to the release of an accused person before trial.
When bail is granted, a person is released until they next need to attend a court or police station. Bail can be granted as ‘conditional bail’ or as ‘unconditional bail’. Conditions attached to a conditional bail will specify requirements that the defendant must follow – if the defendant does not do so, he or she would be in breach of bail. They could then be arrested and may have their bail withdrawn.
