A previous article by Gerald Monks recommended bonding persons to a for-profit agency. However, Monks overlooks the unfairness of incarcerating indigent defendants and releasing those who can pay bond fees. Instead, the decision to release should be based only on the likelihood of appearance in court and the danger to the public. The judge or judicial officer should make the release decision based on factual information presented by an impartial agency. The posting of money to a for-profit agency circumvents the whole system and penalizes people who lack money. In contrast, jurisdictions that have efficient, effective, and responsible pretrial release programs have successfully reduced jail populations while better serving the public.
