With all the bad publicity surrounding the bail business I thought I'd attempt to add a few facts.
1) Did you hear about the hundreds of recoveries made last night without a single incident?
2) Did you hear about the guy that the Marshall service couldn't find, so they sought the help of a recovery agent to find a guy that has been charged with murder while out on bond. The guy is now behind bars.
3 Did you hear about the bondsman that got a call that a client might be considering suicide. The bondsman rushed to the clients house to try and help him. Too late, the guy hanged himself.
4) Did you hear about all the soup kitchens and toys that were set up by Bondsman during the holidays for the less fortunate? The children and adults really appreciated that.
5) Did you hear about the bondsman that provided housing at no cost to a family that lost everything in a fire?
6) Did you hear about the young girl that was beaten by her boyfriend to the point her eyes were swelling shut and her face was starting to bruise? Several people witnessed the beating, but a Bondsman intervened stopping the attack?
7) Did you hear about all the Bondsman that have written bonds and the clients made every court appearance?
Did you hear about all the recoveries made last year by bail agents. Made in a quiet, covert, uneventful manner and without incident? There's really no end to the positive things that could be listed)Well, you might not have read about it in the newspapers, but these things actually happen is this business. I hope one day we can focus on the good, Lord knows there are a lot of people that would love to shut the Bail Industry down.
Let's not help them in this endeavor.
