MYTH #4
If a court wants to set 10% deposit bail, it
doesn’t really hurt anybody.
Wrong! It can not only hurt somebody, it can kill
somebody. Highly credible studies have repeatedly
demonstrated that the more 10% deposit bail is used,
the more people don’t return to court and therefore
the more fugitives there are. And since fugitives are
highly recidivistic, the more fugitives there are, the
more crime victims there will be.
Deposit bail doesn’t hurt anyone? That’s right up
there with leprechauns.
Here’s something about deposit bail that is not a
myth: The criminals love it, because they know
when they put up their 10% with the court they
don’t have to come back and when they don’t,
nobody’s coming after them. And, they know
something else: Nobody is going to make them
pay the remaining 90% of their bond. Ever.
How different it is, and how much safer the
community, when the court insists upon financially
secured release where if the defendant skips,
someone brings him back, and if they don’t they
pay the bail amount to the court.
