Ransom
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Ransom can mean two things:
- Holding a person against their will, in order to get some money (or some other things)
- The money, or the goods which (could possibly) be obtained in such a way.
If people talk about that they need to pay money to the state or the police, to get free, the correct legal term used is usually bail.
