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.
A bail bond is an insurance policy purchased to guarantee the appearance of a defendant in court. Once the defendant has been sentenced, the trial is over and any bail bonds are generally exonerated by the court, meaning that the insurance company is no longer responsible for guaranteeing the defendant's appearance.
