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.
Cozart says thereâs also a misconception about bail bond amounts. While the public often pushes for large bond amounts, lower bond amounts are sometimes more effective at keeping defendants in prison. Bail agents are less likely to put up credit on a $200 bond because they can only charge up to 15 percent on it.
