Editorial on Cash to the Court Bonds

Here’s a pretty informative and funny editorial on ten percent cash bonds. The editorialist lists the enormity of FTAs and a proven solution.

Here's a quote from the article: "So state bondsmen are hoping to do away with the 10-percent rule -- or at least have it employed more sparingly. Studies have shown that if judges require surety bonds -- meaning someone puts up, say, Mom's house as collateral -- they're 28 percent more likely to show up for court."
