Bail bond agents are for-profit businesses that, along with the insurers that back them, make billions on the backs of low- income people and comm5unities of color that have been ravaged by mass incarceration and overpolicing. Given their power – and profits – continuing education is necessary (but not sufficient) to regulate bail bond agents.
Bail bond agents are largely an unregulated industry in many parts of the country, professing to be “self-regulating” but often failing to require real standards or accountability.
