But once defendants get out of jail, they may find themselves in a different predicament. Required to sign strict contracts, defendants often can find themselves paying more than they expected, wearing ankle monitors, and even — in some cases — being threatened with a return to jail if they do not pay extra fees. Industry representatives condemn such actions, saying these types of interactions between bond agents and their clients are not the norm.
Either way, it's no surprise that many defendants decide to avoid bail bonds and stay in jail. However, staying in jail can have negative consequences as well. Robin Steinberg, CEO and founder of the Bail Project, told CNBC that just remaining in jail before a trial makes defendants more likely to be found guilty and get longer sentences.
All of this has helped fuel a reform movement but the best way forward has yet to materialize. Bail agents also worry that reducing the use of bail and releasing more people pretrial will increase crime rates.
