Bail.
He paid to get out of jail and the city gets to keep the money.

I thought he was innocent? As far as I know, innocent people don't forfeit bond money.

No the charges were dropped, on condition that he forfeit the bail money

Thanks, I was reading it wrong! "Give up his bond, to the city of Chicago" makes sense but I parsed it as "Give up his [bond to the city of Chicago]" i.e., the bond was somehow part of the city. Then I got broken down that path and never bubbled back up to "oh, right, bail bond."
