Let's say you or a loved one has been arrested for something that requires a fairly large amount of bail. But neither you nor your family members have enough cash to give the bail bond agent in Denver County for the surety bond (typically 10% of the full bail amount). What are you supposed to do? Fortunately, most bonding companies will accept collateral in lieu of cash. But what sort of assets can be used for bail? Below we'll look at seven...
When it was first proposed taxpayers were told bail reform would provide a long-overdue fix for the central problem with the bail system. That being that people who could not afford to work with a bail bond agent sometimes sat in jail for prolonged periods of time while others accused of the same crime walked free simply because they could afford bail.
Most people would agree fixing that discrepancy would be a worthwhile undertaking. Bail ...
For over a decade concerned public officials, law enforcement agencies and others have been warning about the slow-motion disaster known as "bail reform." For just as long their concerns and warnings have been ignored by a mainstream media that has collectively drank the bail reform Kool Aid and dismissed concerns about a surge in “failure to appear” cases and crime waves as not being supported by the “facts” or worse, as outright racism.

In 2017, a three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas ruled that the existing bail bonding rules in Harris County (Houston) were legally problematic and ordered the county to make major reforms. As a result of the ruling Harris County instituted a catch-and-release system for most misdemeanors and significant reforms to the way people accused of more serious charges were processed following their arrest.

Evidence that Chicago’s misguided attempt at bail reform has crashed and burned in the same way similar efforts have cratered all over the country recently came from an unlikely source. Loyola University, long a hotbed of Jesuit activism that has embraced all of the worst, most regressive elements of wokeism, recently published an exhaustive paper on the results of bail reform in the windbag city. The study behind it was supposed to show what a...
