More and more people across the country are learning the hard way that if you remove accountability from the criminal justice system by ending bail bonds things will go off the rails.

According to PolitiFact, there’s no definitive answer to that question, but here are some about bail bonds to be aw...

Controversy and indecision regarding the future of the cash bail system is never-ending. Some state lawmakers have done away with it altogether. Some jurisdictions put their faith in electronic tethers for post-release monitoring or computer algorithms for pretrial assessment. And some have done nothing, continuing to rely on pretrial services programs, own recognizance rulings, and cash bail bonding for defendants awaiting their next court d...

Even with the COVID-19 pandemic, bail bonds reform laws are still an important storyline to follow. Lawlessness breeds crime, crime of the sort making its way across the country right now breeds anger, and anger breeds action which defies logic. Part of logic-defying action is how reform supporters believed, without evidence, that no-bail laws would be a cure-all for a criminal justice system desperate for reform. If you’re a bail bondsman, you...

Coronavirus spelled out in tile letters against a black background

Bail bonding reform laws across the country were already controversial as supporters trumpeted releasing defendants with little or no cash bail, but now that we’re in the midst of a global pandemic thanks to COVID-19, no-bail laws are under even more scrutiny.

If you paid cash instead of using a bondsman that cash will be forfeited. If you posted a property bond the court may foreclose on your house and sell it to get the bail amount, and if you enlisted the help of a bail bonds agent they are going to come knockin...

When a person has been arrested there’s a lot going through their mind and it can sometimes be difficult to take a step back, take a breath and make sound decisions. One mistake a lot of people who have been arrested in Denver County, Golden, and elsewhere in Colorado make is deciding to act as their own bail bond agent by paying their own bail.

Although those in favor of eliminating the centuries-old bail bonds system suffered a much deserved setback last year in the Colorado state senate, that hasn’t stopped them from trying to saddle taxpayers with their backward, short-sighted ideas.
