ExpertBail vs AmateurBail

ExpertBail would like to wish everyone a very happy & safe New Year. 2010 has been a very challenging year for many people and we hope that 2011 brings much prosperity, success and happiness to you and your family.

AmateurBail on the other hand, is a bit grumpy about 2011 approaching so quickly. They are fond of the economy being in a slump which enables them to take many naps, participate in scandalous activities and take advantage of people in need.

So what’s the difference between an ExpertBail Agent and an AmateurBail Agent?

ExpertBail Agents are professional bail bond agents who do their job better than the rest. They are committed to providing quality support to those in need and won't stop until their job is done and it is done right. At the end of the day, ExpertBail Agents are just like you. They are active members in their communities, donate their time and money to local youth programs and they work with local and national law enforcement. They work 24/7 to help families in need and work hard to make the general public a safer place. They are your neighbors, your advisors and your trusted source for help in what can be one of the most difficult times in your life.

AmateurBail Agents are unprofessional bail bond agents who do their job worse than anyone else. They are committed to ripping off their customers by stealing collateral, lying, taking advantage of people and providing terrible customer service. At the beginning of the day, AmateurBail Agents are people you do not want to meet and definitely don’t want to rely on in an emotional and stressful situation like needing a bail bond.

Why rely on an Amateur when there’s an Expert waiting to help?

ExpertBail Agent: Ron Barnett, Making a Difference

ExpertBail Agent: Ron Barnett, Making a Difference

Making A Difference: Ron Barnett - ExpertBail Bond Agent - Bail Bondsman - ExpertBail.com
How important is family to you? To ExpertBail Agent, Ron Barnett, it means everything. Ron runs Barnett Bail Bonds in Vero Beach, Florida, and it has been going strong for over 25 years. When Ron talks about his family business, he really means family. In fact, his daughter, son-in-law, son and daughter-in-law all work with him. There is even a playroom in the office that is dedicated for his grandchildren when they visit. When Ron says “Let my family assist your family” it couldn’t be more true.

There are many things that make Ron Barnett an extraordinary ExpertBail Agent, but in most people’s eyes, the things that set him apart from the crowd are his passion for family and the experience and dedication he brings to his clients. In his mind, everyone he does business with in some way becomes part of his family. In terms of dedication, Ron proves his commitment each and every day by going to court. For almost every client, he personally goes to first appearances, court hearings, sentences… you name it, he’s there. “If my client’s in court, I’m in court.” It is this type of commitment that makes it possible for all of Ron’s relationships to be built out of trust…you know, the type of stuff families are made of.

Ron’s commitment doesn’t stop with his clients; it goes far beyond. He is heavily involved with his local community and commits a large part of his time to Youth Guidance Mentoring, The Boys and Girls Club and The Humane Society. He not only donates to all of these programs, but he also attends functions, participates in fundraising activities and all family pets have been adopted. Being active in his community is incredibly important to Ron and his family. Every year Ron places a large Toy Bin in his office for people to donate toys throughout the year. These toys are used when a client’s family comes to the office with small children. Ron and his team encourage children to pick out toys to take home. And let us tell you that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…even at the young age of 5, Ron’s granddaughter recently donated her own books to the Toy Bin.

Ron and his family are a true testament of what an ExpertBail Agent really stands for and we are extremely proud to call Ron and his entire family Trusted Members of the ExpertBail Network.
Ron Barnett & Family

Goodbye 2010, Hello 2011!

The end of the year is almost here and for many people, 2010 was a continuation of tough times caused by the economy. Until real estate prices increase and employment rates decrease, all retail industries will be challenged. Nevertheless, we are proud to say our ExpertBail Agents have persevered throughout this tough climate.

These hard times require many things of people in the workforce; including innovative thinking, discipline and creative thinking. Successful businesses must constantly be creative in their approach to bringing in new customers. Things have changed dramatically in the past several years and competition in all industries is fierce.

While 2010 was incredibly challenging, ExpertBail and its network of agents will strive to continue to provide quality support to those in need in a trusting and professional manner. When you work with an ExpertBail Agent, you will be working with a bail bond agent who has the experience, knowledge and compassion you need.

We want to wish everyone a very happy and safe holiday and a healthy and prosperous 2011.

Ada County, Idaho Jail & Bail Information

Ada County, Idaho
7200 Barrister Dr.
Boise, ID 83704

(208) 577-3000
Non-emergency Dispatch
(208) 377-6790

Ada County Jail
The Ada County Jail was built in 1977 when the Ada County-Boise City Public Safety Building first opened. The jail was originally built to hold a maximum of 160 inmates, plus 32 work release prisoners.
The jail has been expanded several times since then. Today, the total inmate capacity is 1144.

Inmate Classification
All inmates at the Ada County Jail are classified using a specific system which is basically a risk assessment. By classifying all inmates, security of other inmates and jail staff is greatly increased. To classify an inmate, a team of officers researches the inmate's past and criminal history. They also consider the inmate's past and present behavior when in custody. Mental or physical disabilities are also taken into consideration when determining appropriate housing.

Inmates are assigned a security risk level, or classification, ranging from minimum to maximum. Minimum security inmates enjoy the highest level of benefits and privileges. Medium security inmates may also have certain privileges, like dormitory housing and access to programs. Inmates who are classified as maximum risk do not have access to most programs or privileges.

Inmate Housing
There are different types of inmate supervision used inside the Ada County Jail. One is called Close Custody Unit (CCU). CCU can house a total of 130 inmates. This is the traditional cell structure where more violent offenders or those inmates who cannot be mixed with the general population are housed.
Other inmates live under what is referred to as Direct Supervision. Their housing is set up in "pods". Within each pod are dorms. Each male dorm holds 92 inmates. Each female dorm houses 56. In dorms, there are no single cells. Inmates have their own beds and they all share a common area. Generally, one deputy is able to supervise an entire dorm.

Bail Bond FAQs
What is bond?
A bail bond is an amount of money in cash, property, or surety bond that must be paid for an arrested person to be able to leave jail before his case is completed. The purpose of a bond is to make sure that person attends all of his required court appearances.

Who determines how much bond an inmate must pay?
Bond amounts for misdemeanor charges are determined by the court. Felony charges and some additional "no-bond" charges require the defendant to see a judge to have a bond amount set before being able to post bond and be released prior to court appearance.

What forms of payment do you accept?
The Ada County Sheriff's Office accepts cash, cashier's check, money order or a surety bond, secured through a licensed bond agent.

Who can post bond?
Any person can post his or her own bond. If the defendant cannot afford to bond him/herself out of jail, any other person age 18 or older can post the bond.

If you don't have the cash to cover the full bond amount, you may wish to hire a professional ExpetBail Bond Agent. ExpertBail is the only true National Bail Bond Network.

Bail Bond Frequently Asked Questions

Have you ever wondered how collateral works in the bail bond process? Watch the new "Frequently Asked Bail Bond Questions" from ExpertBail and learn everything you wanted to know about bail, but were afraid to ask.

How does the bail bond collateral process work?



Sometimes the bail agent will require collateral to secure the guarantee of the bond and ensure the defendant's appearance in court. Collateral is anything of value that is pledged to secure the bond, such as cash, property, jewelry, etc. Upon complete resolution of the defendant's case and payment of all premiums in full, the collateral is returned to the indemnitor.

When do I get my collateral back?

In most cases, collateral is returned to the defendant upon discharge or exoneration of the bail bond.

ExpertBail Agent: Jeremy Hubbard, Making a Difference

ExpertBail Agent: Jeremy Hubbard, Making a Difference

Making A Difference: Jeremy Hubbard - ExpertBail Bond Agent - Bail Bondsman - ExpertBail.com
If there is a mold that ExpertBail Agent Jeremy Hubbard fits, it is definitely the one that was broken afterwards. He is not only a unique bail agent, but an even more unique and truly special person.
 
After serving 6 years in the army and bouncing at a local night club, Jeremy found his way into bail through the fugitive recovery industry. Looking to put himself through college, Jeremy fell in love with bail and really saw it as an opportunity to help people. It was at this time that he met Bryan Nester, a long time agent in Vancouver who was looking to start his own business, and became Bryan’s first employee.
 
Understanding the role the bail plays in the criminal justice system and the impact that it potentially has on public safety, Jeremy has become an advocate for the industry. He spends a great deal of his time educating the public, legislators and judges on the benefits and advantages of commercial bail. To say that Jeremy is active in his local state bail association is an understatement. In fact, he recently became president of the Washington State Bail Agents Association. In his first act as President, Jeremy has been traveling around the state talking with agents trying to get them more involved in the industry. He also talks with key influencers to try and best understand how the WSBAA can be most effective in supporting and growing the commercial bail industry.
 
Jeremy’s commitment to helping people extends far beyond bail. Jeremy is actively involved in his community as well as the Muscular Dystrophy Association, where he gets arrested each year as part of a charity event and needs to raise money to bail himself out. Over the past 7 years, Jeremy has raised thousands of dollars for this great cause. Recently Jeremy went as far as getting “tasered” for charity. Follow the link to check out the video, ExpertBail Agent, Jeremy Hubbard, gets tasered.
 
We would like to thank Jeremy for everything that he does. He is truly reflective of the ExpertBail brand and we are proud to know that he is a trusted agent in our Network.

Jason Meyerson

Jason Meyerson - ExpertBail Agent

Having the ability to impact someone’s life that may be headed down the wrong path is something that one Orange County ExpertBail Agent prides himself on. When a young man or woman finds themselves in trouble and their family or friends go to Jason Meyerson’s Bail Bond Professionals office, they learn they have options in helping their loved one. While Meyerson advises the parents, friends, etc. about the responsibility associated with signing as an indemnitor on a bond, he also takes the opportunity to send a strong message to the young person who is being bailed out.  By sitting down with the defendant and the indemnitor together, Meyerson is able to try and provide a little wisdom to the young person through explaining the details of their release. By informing all the parties involved about the consequences of not meeting the obligations of the bail bond agreement (i.e., if they continue to get into trouble) the indemnitor can call him and tell him they no longer want to be liable for this bond and he will pick up the defendant and put them back into custody. This candid and educational approach sends a very powerful message to the defendant. Understanding the conditions set for them and what happens if they violate them, young adults can be essentially “scared straight” and have their eyes opened toward what it takes to be a responsible adult. Parents are empowered by this approach and over the years Meyerson has helped many young men and women find the right path.

Getting into the bail bond business for Meyerson came out of a lifelong friendship with someone who was in the bail business. Meyerson grew up in Los Angeles but moved to Monterey, CA in 1991 to work in the cycling industry and race bicycles. After his first child was born he accepted a job in Newport Beach and moved to Orange County. Out of a desire to become a business owner and a strong entrepreneurial spirit, Jason began working and learning the business from his friend Chris Kiperman. They worked together for two years before forming a partnership. Today, Kiperman and Meyerson each own a Bail Bond Professionals office, with Kiperman in Los Angeles and Meyerson in Orange County. These partners share a unique “hands-on” business model, treating their indemnitors and defendants with dignity, respect and a personal touch that larger businesses generally fail to provide. This model has worked well for them as shown by the amount of referrals they receive.

Meyerson is also serves as the Vice President of the Orange County Bail Agents Association and is very active in supporting local groups in his community, including the Santa Ana Community Center and the Tustin Police Department. Meyerson’s entire organization is committed to playing a positive role in the community and participating in events and fundraisers supporting schools other charities throughout the city. Having an impact on young lives is all in a day’s work for this ExpertBail Agent.

The Department is the only government operated correction agency in the State.  Delaware runs what is called a unified corrections system.  Delaware has no regional, county or municipal correction or jail system and no separate probation system.  Offenders immediately become the responsibility of the State, including:  pre-trial and sentenced, misdemeanor and felony, and jail and prison and all community based sanctions.
* Data reveals the State corrections effort is largely a jail system with approximately 20,000 offenders admitted for incarceration and 20,000 released each year.
* Currently, 57% are sentenced to serve more than one year. 24% are sentenced to less than one year. The remaining 19% are offenders in detention status (either prior to conviction/acquittal or held awaiting sentencing). In Delaware, prison is defined as those serving one or more years. Jail is defined as those serving less than a year.
* Many in detention are held solely because they cannot make bail. These numbers reflect the huge volume of people flowing into Delaware correctional facilities.
* Approximately 97% of the inmate population will eventually be released to the community.
* It costs about $30,000 a year to incarcerate one inmate. Prisons are about 20 times more costly per person, per day than regular probation.

Follow the link if you need a bail bond agent in Delware.

Vision:
* In its commitment to public safety, the Department of Correction will assure every offender is fully accountable to themselves, to their families, to their victims, to their neighbors and, to their community.
* This accountability has a short-term and a long-term component. The short-term component incorporates the traditional functions such as tight security of prisons and effective surveillance and supervision in the community. The long-term component requires growth and development by offenders through their participation in programming such as: conflict resolution, education, substance abuse treatment, vocational training and community service.
* The Department will require offenders to participate in those programs documented to have a positive effect on offenders remaining crime free.

Mission:
The mission of the Bureau of Prisons is to provide overall administrative support for Delaware's four state prisons.  These correctional facilities provide sanctions for sentenced offenders and pre-trial detention services for offenders awaiting disposition of criminal charges.  The four facilities housing inmates sentenced to Level V sanctions provide:
* Protection for the public through incarceration of the offender.
* Protection for the public through rehabilitation of the offender to prevent future crime.
* A safe and humane living environment for the incarcerated offender.
* A safe and appropriate working environment for staff.
* A range of correctional programs necessary to meet the needs of both society and the individual while implementing court-ordered sanctions in the least restrictive environment consistent with public safety.

Delaware's Four correctional institutions are:
    Delores J. Baylor Women's Correctional Institution (BWCI)
    James T. Vaughn Correctional Center (formerly Delaware Correctional Center (DCC))
    Howard R.Young Correctional Institution (HRYCI)
    Sussex Correctional Institution (SCI)

Making A Difference: Stephen Owens - Bail Bond Agent

Stephen Owens

Making A Difference: Stephen Owens - ExpertBail Bond Agent - Bail Bondsman - ExpertBail.com
Stephen Owens has a Master’s Degree in Business Administration with his undergrad in accounting and business. In addition, he is a volunteer fireman and an EMT of 13 years. Oh and did we mention that he is an ExpertBail Agent? Owens started college in the late 1990’s with one intention, playing football. But as his college years were winding down and the reality of life struck him, he found himself in a place of uncertainty. It was at that time that he was introduced to Jan Jordan, a bail industry veteran in Oklahoma.
Stephen was so fascinated and intrigued by the bail bond industry and what it stood for; he told his wife that he was going into the career of bail bondsmen. Her reaction: “YOU ARE DOING WHAT?” She assumed that bondsmen were dirty, crooked and get bad people out of jail. It was then that he explained to her that the bail industry has a very negative perception and that he wanted to be a part of changing it.

It was in 2001 when Stephen started Owens Bonding. He learned early on that some of the negative perception of bail bondsmen was actually true. While his competition tried to sabotage his advertising, he stuck to his morals and ran his business by his own set of high standards: Treat people with dignity and respect and they will treat you with the same. His morals and high standards have paid off and made him one of the prominent bail agents in Kansas.

Today Stephen continues his efforts of raising the bar in the bail industry. Owens Bonding has 9 offices throughout Kansas, 12 agents and 4 support staff. He is working to equip his offices and people working with him with the latest technology to make the paper intensive job of posting a bail bond easier. He also has started a clothing line with profits going to local charities. Stephen doesn’t brag about his charity work, he looks at is as his duty to give back to the public. Stephen Owens is another example of what makes ExpertBail Agents the best at serving their communities.

ExpertBail Agent: Gloria Mitchell

ExpertBail: Bail Bond Agent, Gloria Mitchell

Gloria Mitchell is a second generation bail agent and has been working in the bail industry for over 20 years.  Following in the footsteps of her mother, Gloria received her bail license and has owned her own bail business for the past 15 years.

What makes Gloria such a wonderful bail agent is not the work she does every day in her office, but more importantly the work she does every day outside her office.  For the past several years, Gloria has worked with Soroptimist International in Puente Hills, CA.  Through her work with this group, as a member and past President, she saw an unique opportunity to branch off and work with teenage mothers.

Gloria created a program called "Tea for You" (Teen Mothers Excelling through Adversities).  She works closely with teachers and students from fifteen Cal-SAFE Schools to provide resources and support for pregnant teens and teen mothers.  The organization holds a special a day each May (and has for the past 5 years) to provide these teen girls an opportunity to experience a high tea luncheon with women who were also teen mothers.  They get a chance to share stories and experiences of how these women have continued on to become professionals in business. Gloria is completely committed to the success of this program.  According to Gloria, “I see bright futures in these girls and with the help of Soroptimist Scholarship Program and support from the surrounding business we can encourage them to stay in school, and continue on to higher education.  Ultimately we want them to use their adversities as stepping stones to reach their goals. By building strength and confidence and never giving up they will improve their lives and the lives their children.”

Q. How does a bail bond work?
A. Typically, a bail amount is set by the local court jurisdiction following the arrest of a defendant.  A family member, a close friend, or sometimes the defendant will contact a bail agent to arrange for the posting of the bail bond.  The family member or friend that is guaranteeing the bond, also known as the indemnitor or co-signer, will complete paperwork and pay the premium, which is a percentage of the bond amount.  By signing the paperwork, the indemnitor is guaranteeing that he or she will pay the full amount of the bond if the defendant fails to appear in court.  Typically, collateral is taken from the indemnitor to secure the guarantee.

Essex County, NY Jail Information

Adirondack Correctional Facility
196 Ray Brook Road
P.O. Box 110
Ray Brook, New York 12977-0110
(518) 891-1343 (Essex County)

The Adirondack Correctional Facility is a 700-man medium-security prison in Ray Brook, New York in the Adirondack Mountains between Saranac Lake and Lake Placid; it employs 311.

Adirondack Correctional Facility started as the Ray Brook Sanatorium, the first state-operated tuberculosis sanatorium, starting in 1904. Although medical developments made sanitoria obsolete starting in the mid-1950s, the State Sanatorium at Ray Brook continued to operate until the mid-1960s. The property was transferred from the Department of Health to the new Drug Addiction Control Commission, combining enforcement and treatment; in 1971 the new facility opened as the Ray Brook Rehabilitation Center, housing 70 to 130 female addicts. However, it was judged a failure, and closed within five years. It was succeeded by a camp program for adult inmates, "Camp Adirondack". Working with the Department of Environmental Conservation, "campmen", as inmates were known, were employed in logging, sawmill, wildlife preservation, construction of campsites and snowmobile and cross-country ski trails, and construction of a toboggan run at the Mount Pisgah ski area. The camp also constructed the Ice Palace each winter for the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival.

With the selection of Lake Placid for the 1980 Winter Olympics the inmates worked on the Olympic trails at Mount Van Hoevenburg. The camp facilities were used for Olympic staff housing, which led to renovation of the water treatment plant, sewage system, housing and food service areas. During the games, the inmates were relocated to other prison facilities in the state, and were replaced by 900 State Police and 300 U.S. Customs Bureau personnel, National Guard and security forces of foreign governments who provided security for the Games. An area of 200 acres (81 ha) of the facility was used as the site for the Olympic Village; after the games it became a new federal prison, the Federal Correctional Institution, Ray Brook.

Washington County, Ohio Jail Information

Washington County, Ohio Jail Information
Jail Division
101 Westview Avenue
Marietta, Ohio 45750

Questions? Call the Jail at (740) 374-7677

The Jail Facilities:
Corrections Officers work in the jail taking care of the inmates. They are also required to have 24 hours of continuing education a year, in areas of self-defense, fire training, CPR, and jail training. The inmates are fed three meals a day and have access to medical care and mental counseling if needed.


Control Room:
The control room officer monitors security cameras mounted both inside and outside the jail. The control room officer can easily lock and unlock doors by seeing who needs to get in and out of the rooms. By using this technology, inmates are unable to escape, allowing only the officers in and out of the rooms.


Dorms:
The jail has eight separate housing areas comprising dorms containing 124 beds. Inmates may walk around their dorm freely between 5:30 am and 11:30 pm, at which time the inmates are required to be in their bed unless traveling to and from the restroom.The jail is full almost all of the time.

Washington County Jail Bail Bonds
If you know somebody waiting in the Washington County Jail to be bonded out it is very important that you find a qualified, licensed bail bond agency:
  • With the sea of bail bond providers available, how do you know which one to choose? What is the difference between different bail providers?
  • First of all, a good bail bond company will be available 24 hours a day. If you are arrested in the middle of the night you don't want to stay in jail overnight waiting for your bail bondsman to come down and bail you out. 
  • Another factor to consider is how quickly the company will be able to make a decision on whether they will underwrite your bond. Most people think that the bail bond process is as easy as paying 10% of bail and getting out of jail - in reality, the bail bond companies has to make a decision on whether they think you are a flight risk since they stand to lose the entire face value of bail if you skip town. 
  • Most bail bond companies with a lot of experience can make the decision quickly - usually within an hour of receiving your application. The best indicator of how quickly a bail bond company will move is just how fast they are when you call them up. If they don't answer you should move on.

Bail Proceedings
Bail refers to the release from custody of an accused before trial. The South Carolina Constitution guarantees that all persons accused of a crime are entitled to bail pending trial, except in capital cases or offenses punishable by life imprisonment. The Constitution also provides that excessive bail cannot be charged. No judge can set bail at a figure higher than an amount reasonably calculated to insure the presence of the accused at trial. See Stack v. Boyle, 342 U.S. 1, 72 S.Ct. 1, 96 L.Ed.3 (1961).
In South Carolina, the overwhelming majority of bonds are set by the Summary Courts. Summary Courts are the Magistrate Courts and the Municipal Courts.

There are basically two types of sureties available:
    * The defendant may obtain a commercial surety. A list of licensed bondsman with telephone numbers is made available to all detainees. Professional bondsmen can charge a fee of up to 15% of the bond. This fee is not refundable, even if the defendant is ultimately found not guilty of the offense with which he is charged.
    * The defendant may find friends or relatives who can act as surety for him. Any unlicensed person who signs such a surety bond is referred to as an accommodation bondsman.
