In January 2016 I joined Forbesâ Entrepreneurs team, after spending the previous six years writing for the Leadership channel. Iâm most interested in dramatic success stories that include a colorful, rocky road, where the business founder learns lessons as she navigates the terrain.
If you or a loved one is ever accused of a crime, the bail bond system can help protect your rights. Bail is an integral component in the justice system of the United States. The bail bond serves as a protection for a personâs rights. It also helps reduce overcrowding in detention centers and cost of inmate housing. These people, who have not yet been proven guilty, can remain free until a verdict is reached by the jury and the court comes up with a sentence.
With a bail bond, the bondsman promises to pay the full bail amount to the court if the accused doesnât live up to the terms of release, like show up in court for a hearing or the trial. Thereâs also a separate contract between the bondsman and the indemnitor.
