The history of bail bondsmen in the United States is long and storied. While the Eighth Amendment prohibits excessive bail from being set, much of our system for bail was borrowed from England. In fact, many are surprised to learn that bail statutes date back to as early as 1275.
Do you know what the difference is between bail and a bond? A lot of people don’t. Most people think that bails and bonds are the same because they are always being talked about or written about together… so, “aren’t the terms interchangeable?”
Are they different and what do they do?
Bail bondsmen are hired by defendants, their friends or families to help get a person out of jail while they await trial. A Bounty Hunter; also called a recovery agent, is someone that is hired by a bail bond company to track down a defendant who did not return to court.
If a defendant decides to skip bail, called “failure to appear” and the bondsman is unable to produce them within a set period of time, they are on the hook for paying the full cost of the bond to the court.
Inmates at the Los Angeles County Men’s Central Jail are not the only ones itching to get out. There are many jail deputies who do not enjoy their time working inside the LA County lockups. Officials for the Sheriff’s Department are hoping that proposed changes, which will speed up promotions, will get deputies more enthusiastic about their time inside the jails.
As of now, deputies have to go on street patrol in order to become supervisors. The new plan will allow deputies to move up in rank while staying on duty in county jails. Sheriff Lee Baca hopes that the two-track career system will allow for a core of experienced jailers who actually want to work in the corrections system.
