A quick definition of bail absolute:

Bail absolute is a type of bond that makes someone responsible for an estate's funds if an administrator, executor, or guardian fails to account for them properly. Bail can also refer to the process of releasing someone from jail by providing security for their future appearance in court. This security can be in the form of cash or a bond. Sometimes, a person can be released on their own recognizance, which means they promise to come back to court without providing any security. Excessive bail, which is unreasonably high, is not allowed under the law. When someone is bailed out of jail, they are released after someone else provides the security. Personal property can also be bailed, which means it is placed in someone else's trust.
