10% of bail to be posted by the accused.
Is the rest just symbolic?

The state takes the risk instead of the bondsman.... and the fees. Profitable business.

It isn’t symbolic. If the accused fails to appear for trial, then the bond is forfeited and he owes the remaining 90%. He just owes it to the State rather than a bondsman.
