If an individual needs to know terms of his bail, who can give him the facts on this procedure? The inmate is getting contradictory information during each communication with the bail bond person.

there is a set bail amount, by the magistrate. That is the amount. A bailbondsman then makes a deal with the offender or their family. It is normally 10% of the total amount. If the bail is very high, they might require collateral like a piece of tangible real estate to ensure that the offender makes every single court appearance. The contradiction might be competing bailbond companies.
