When people end up in jail and are unable to afford bail, they may look to bail bonds services for temporary help. Bail bonds services will help that individual by covering the required amount set by the court. The individual who needs to be bailed out must show that they are not a flight risk in order to receive help from a bail service.
Oftentimes, the family of the person in jail will contact and pay for the service.
Generally, bail bonds services will post bail in exchange for a percentage of interest. The interest paid is usually quite high in order to combat the risk of the arrested party. Considering the overcrowded jails in the U.S., this service alleviates that strain to a certain degree. Hypothetically, if the individual who was arrested fled the area, the bail bonds services hire a bounty hunter to find them and recoup their money. They have the legal right to do so. .
