said a bondsman gets paid 9k to bail the guy out...why in the frick would anyone throw away that much money instead of just putting it up themselves and getting it back when they show up to court
You never get your money back right away. They can deduct court fees and misc stuff against your cash bond. Then it could take weeks or months to have it returned to you. Just FYI

If you are arrested in EBR, I wouldn’t sweat the bond amount.
Most of the judges at the 19th JDC historically set very low bonds, even for violent crimes.
I had a case earlier this year where the perp committed an armed robbery and scored over 12k in cash. Normally I wouldn’t have released that number in the affidavit, but I felt it was absolutely necessary in order to prevent a low bond from being set that could potentially allow the suspect to use the stolen money to post.
Nope, still didn’t matter. Bond was set at 60k. So even if ole baw spent half the loot on drugs, girls, casinos, he still had half enough to post his own bond.

Studies show that people who bond out are no more likely to appear for court, and they are just as or even more likely to commit crimes while out on bond.

I was a bondsman 20 years... Here you go
1 10,000 bond... person pays $1200 10% to bondsman Louisiana gets 2%
Bondsman gives Sheriff Dept 10,000 power of attorney from his insurance comp. promising person will be at all court dates.. If he misses court bondsman has 6 months to find person or has to pay 10,000. Bondsmen pays insurance company 3% (2% insurance company keep 1% goes in escrow for bondsman) so $10000 bond he makes $700
And bonds are per charge not total amount of all charges

That’s stupid. No way it cost 9k

Another aspect that hasn't been mentioned, is protectors know that many people can't even post the 10% with a bondsman, so the accused sits in jail or makes a bad plea deal with the prosecutor.
It's immoral on so many levels.

You ask a question about something you clearly don’t understand, based on how you ask the question, and when someone gives you the correct answer, you call them stupid. What do you think that says about you?

Most major cities in alabama are going to recog bonds for misdemeanors and low class felonies. It's killing the bond industry.

Same in Shreveport/Bossier. They are OR'ing a ton of shite other than first offense drug charges and violent felonies.

Bail bondsman pretty much runs like a bank. You go to them for a loan to post bail, which you have to pay back with interest.
$9k on $75k is 12% so that person had to pay 12% of the bond to get out. They go to a bail bondsman to borrow the $9k which will likely have around 20% interest.. If that person doesn't show up for court they will owe the rest of the $75k plus what they didn't pay the bail bondsman.. That's when bounty hunters come in.

Bail bondsman must love tax season. I bet there are inmates all over this country scamming women with way too many kids into putting up their tax refund so they can get back out in that world...
Only to re offend.

How do bail bondsmen operate?
They set up shop as close as possible to the jail/courthouse.
They get a semi-trashy /semi-attractive chick to work the desk.
They hang photos & posters atound to make it look scary for you if you miss your court date.
They say ‘brah’ a lot.
Often, they - too - have spent time in jail.
