AccreditedBail's Blog is intended to educate the public about the taxpayer savings and public safety benefits the private commerical bail industry provides.
Tuesday, July 14, 2009
The Citizens' Right-to-Know legislation is a valuable tool to educate policy makers providing funding to Pretrial Release programs regarding the types of defendants being released and supervised using taxpayer dollars.
Private commercial bail has been proven to be the most efficient and effective form of pretrial release. Bail agents are financially and physically responsible for defendants released on bail.
The commercial bail industry is user-funded and uses no taxpayer dollars.
We hope our blog will educate you on the differences between our industry and taxpayer-funded pretrial services programs, which use millions of tax dollars to release arrested defendants, many of whom can afford their own release.
