  • Bail Bond System

    831 Words  | 4 Pages

    The bail bond is more like third party that acts as a financial institution that pays the bail on behalf of the arrestee. The way bail bond system works is by making the arrestee pay upfront a nonrefundable percent to the bail bond company, this percent is usually 10% of the whole amount of the bail. [4] Then, the bail bond company pays the bond to the court and when the arrestee goes to his or her trial date the bond company will received the full amount of the bail they posted to the court for the released of the arrestee, so basically the bail bond company at the end receives all of its money back plus they get to keep the nonrefundable 10% that the arrestee paid up front. [4] There has been a lot of debates about the bail bond system because it is not for the benefit of indigent people because at the end indigent arrestees end up paying more than affluent arrestees who are able to pay for their bond themselves. In my opinion, I think that the author of the article is correct about describing the bail bond system as archaic.
