Bail Bonds News and Information
News and ResourcesThe so-called ‘bail reform’ movement of the past decade has hit some significant roadblocks in the past couple of years. It began with Alaska rolling back its bail reform law after it turned the Great White North into the Wild Wild West. Right here in Jefferson County, Arapahoe County and Denver County people had the good sense to recognize the bail reform snake oil salesmen for what they were/are and send them packing.
One of the biggest blows...
If you asked people who they think has been behind the bail bonding reform movement some would probably say former California Governor Jerry Brown. Others might say former President Obama. And still others might say President Trump. Chances are good that 0 would say “The Arnold Foundation”. But while all of those political figures and many more have chimed in on the subject it was indeed the non-profit Arnold Foundation - founded by a former ex...
For decades, the New York Times was considered a bellwether for responsible journalism. If you read an article in the Times, even if you didn’t agree with it, you could be reasonably sure the reporter had done his due diligence.

In the past couple of years, however, the worm has turned and reformers are being s...
Bail reformers are fond of telling anyone who will listen that the current system punishes the poor. The jails are full, they say, of poor, innocent victims of a racist, corrupt judiciary and that ultimate boogeyman: the bondsman. The sad thing is reformers have actually managed to sell their snake oil to legislators in New Jersey, California, and a few other states, all of which have come to regret drinking...
For the past decade the Arnold Foundation and its agents have been crisscrossing the country trying to convince the gullible that the thousand year old bail system is somehow evil. That it creates victims instead of ensuring justice. And that the bail bondsman spends all his time having parties on the yacht he bought with his ill-gotten gains.
Fortunately, the good people of Jefferson County, Arapahoe County and Denver County saw throug...
