Bail is only designed to make sure you show up to your next court date. It doesn't mean you are guilty. When the case is over, if you owe money and if the bond is in your own name, you can ask that your bond be applied to your costs, though they may not be the same. You may owe more or you may get money back. Whether or not you get jail time depends on your offense and your record and does not have much to do with the posting of your bond.
