Did you know this?

The Eighth Amendment and the Bail System

The Eighth Amendment to our constitution established the nation’s judicial system and the structure of the bail process as we know it today. It specifically addresses the issue of bail in these words:

“Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”

The Eighth Amendment is the justification for the bail bond industry’s existence, but the bail clause within it is just one aspect of the American bail structure. There are also certain guarantees against imprisonment. The established system demands that anyone facing prison must be informed of his or her crime. This coupled with the categorization of bailable and non-bailable offenses comprise the final components of the American bail system.

Want to know some history about bail bonds?

The first modern bail bonds business in the U.S., the system by which a person pays a percentage of the court-specified bail amount to a professional bonds agent who then gives the court cash in the full amount of bail as a guarantee that the person will appear in court, was established by Peter P. McDonough in San Francisco in 1898. However, there is evidence that the first surety bail bonds were agreed upon in what is today modern Iraq. Citizens were released from jail by having an indemnitor pay a sum in currency and to pledge the defendant will show up to court backed by the indemnitor's property such as his sheep. Stone carvings place these events at over 4,000 years ago.

Interesting huh?
