To say there’s exciting stuff going on right now would be an understatement. Even with all the controversies happening in our own backyards, we must stop a moment and re-focus on something near and dear to all of us: Cash bail reform, and its incessant march along the road to nowhere.
Lawmakers in Colorado who insist on eliminating or reducing cash bail along with sweeping criminal justice reform won’t take no for an answer from fellow legi...
Our Denver bail agents have said it for years: the only way that the cash bail system will ever get cleaned up is if there’s compromise amongst all parties and a certain amount of common-sense reform. Of course, what we think is “common-sense bail reform” compared to others is subjective.
In today's guide, our Jefferson County bail agents review two of bail reform's top donors and a few news stories highlighting its danger throughout t...
If there is one thing we know about cash bail, it is this: Its opponents simply will not stop their march toward eliminating it. Scarily enough, these social class warriors may be cut from the same cloth as Confederate soldiers during the Civil War – thinking they were chosen by God to succeed. We know how well that worked out for them, right? Key happenings in the bail bonding frontier? Silent opposition in Colorado, stirrings in Maine, and co...
There are many interesting things going on in the cash bail industry, particularly from the standpoint of what kind of strategy the reform camp has decided to employ.

If that someone in need happens to be requesting help posting cash bail, our advice is to think twice because of the risks involved, as you’ll see below. Other topics to chew on include a nationwide discussion about the constitutionality of cash bail (go figure), and Colorado lawmake...
The controversy surrounding cash bail reform won't die down anytime soon. And here's why. The governor of Illinois just signed a bill into law that ends cash bail in that state, examples of domestic violence horror stories related to bail are too prevalent to ignore, and the President of the United States is working toward enacting a campaign pledge to end cash bail nationwide and stop criminalizing poverty.
The next few years should be very in...
Sit tight, readers - things are about to get real. Even with the state of the country, the idea of cash bail reform is like Michael Myers in the Halloween movie franchise – it just won’t die and is still grabbing headlines. Bills are brewing in Michigan to make changes to that state’s criminal justice system, lawmakers in California refuse to believe the defeat of Proposition 25 last year, and Utah res...
