lets say this to all the dumb ones that are brain washed. Let say a bails bondman bails at least 10 people in one day all bails being 10,000 or above which is the usual case senerio. Do the math at 10%. I think jail looks much nicer. I been to jail and it don't hurt that bad. I could have put myself through college a couple of times. lol

people wake up you can't be making that much money to support your families being taxed by the gov to go to work ,eat, and send your kids to school not to mention house payments. People wake up we are being robbed. Who really belongs in jail uncle sam?

Agree with you that Americans need to wake up and smell more than the coffee. Our government taxes us way too much and our systems are too corrupt. They have forgotten who they report to and have the nerve to say they serve the public. We pay them good salaries ... there is no bit of service in the transaction.

The 10% is the bailbondsman, a private company, not the government, putting up the full amount of bail so that the perp will show up in Court and the 10% is their fee for putting up the 100% of the bond. In your above example, the $5,000 is the fee that someone WILLINGLY paid to see the perp get out of jail pending trial, no one twisted their arm, it was THEIR CHOICE.
If the perp skips bail, the person that put up the bail is not only liable for the 10% fee that has already been paid, but can be successfully sued for the entire $50,000 as that is what the private company, the bailbondsman, will have to pay the Court and cannot get their 90% back until they deliver the perp back to jail.
If you don't want to be out the $5,000, you have the choice of not paying the bond and letting the perp stay in jail until trial.
As other posters have stated above, if you think it is a rip-off, try spending 6 months in jail awaiting trial as it will likely change your mind or get a loan and go into business as yourself as a bailbondsman and see how "easy" you think the money is after you have a few perps skip out on you.

That is the bondsman's fee for bonding the person out of jail. Usually the bondsman works for an insurance company and gets a percentage of the 5000.

The bondsman uses it for fees. If you think its a rip off, next time you go to jail sit there. Dont bond out. That 10 percent will not seem so bad after a few days in jail.

Call the court house so you will know the laws before you call the bondsman. I have met a few bondsmen that were not real honest. It can take some time before you get it back.

It goes back to the person who posted it, unless the guy jumps bail. This 10% thing you refer to is the bondsman's commission for posting the bail.

I know that when you post bond, they hold onto the money for insurance that you will go to court. When you go to court, you get that money back, if you don't, then it goes to the state.
I believe that 10% is for paying the judge, and other court officials.

Then don't get into trouble -If it was your money you were putting up on somebody you would probably want a good payback also.
