Bankruptcy Law/Judgment

Question
If a Judgement was won against you for a security bond and you file bankruptcy with no real property or income, can that judgement be included in the bankruptcy?

Answer
I am not totally familiar with a 'security bond.'
Most non-dischargeable debts are government related, or based on fraud. Otherwise, most regular judgments from credit cards or medical bills are discharged upon filing.  If you let me know what a security bond is, perhaps I can get you more info, Belinda.  Thanks
