Who benefits from the existence of the bail bond industry?
A. Bail bondsmen provide a valuable service to three parties. The first beneficiary is the defendant and the defendant’s family. Being released on bail affords the defendant the freedom to continue working, paying bills and providing for their family while they undergo the court process. If it weren’t for the services of bondsmen, a defendant would likely sit in jail for weeks, months or years before guilt or innocence is determined.
