Bail Bonding Today

We have traveled a long way since the early days of bail. Today, financial obligations of each individual bonding company take the place of individuals in their stead. Today, the individual bondsman works at no expense to the taxpayer and the criminal justice system. The bondsman being responsible to the court has a vested interest in seeing that the defendant meets his court date. Should the bondsman not be able to located his client he is responsible to the court for 100% of the face value of that bond. The bondsman is out any expenses used in seeking and apprehending that individual.

How Bail Bonding Came To Be:
It has been theorized that the American bail system has evolved from the early form of Anglo-Saxon justice. The Shire Reeve (Sheriff) was in charge of detaining criminals for the kings court. With no jails available, the early castle dungeons were used for the violators of crimes. The individuals standing good for the re-appearance of these criminals, stood good in lieu of their crimes. When the criminal did not re-appear, they would suffer the consequences of the crimes of the criminal that they represented.
