ExpertBail Agent: Joyce Alexander

ExpertBail Agent, Joyce Alexander, hasn’t always been a bail agent. In fact, as a single mother in the 1960’s, she bravely ventured out into the workforce and became a seamstress. She quickly rose to lead her department for the next 19 years. When her children had completed college, Joyce focused on her own education and went back to school where she graduated with her degree at the age of 58. It was at this point that she and her husband, Jim, started their own bail bond company. The determination and commitment that Joyce showed in raising her two children and obtaining her college degree are a hint at the professionalism and passion she brings to her bail bond business.
Today, Joyce and Jim have been happily married for over 20 years, live on a farm and successfully run three bail bond offices, including A & A Credit Bail Bonds in Boyd, Texas. They are completely committed to family and have 10 grandchildren between them.
The next time when you find yourself in a “jam” in Boyd, Texas, make sure to give Joyce a call. If you’re lucky, not only will she help you get out of jail quickly, you might get a jar of her homemade jam as well. So, thank you Joyce for being such an inspirational woman and for being a valuable and Trusted Member of the ExpertBail Network…and yes, thanks for the jam too.

ExpertBail Agent: Randy Stern

At first sight, your first impression of Randy Stern would NOT be that of a bail bondsman. Maybe a soccer mom or bank teller, but not a person who frequents the county jail. Her professional background in mental health and working with the elderly would not directly link her to the bail bond industry. David Stern Bail Bonds is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It was her father-in-law's business for over 30 years and after his passing in 2008, she took over the family business. This brought her passion for helping people to a whole new industry.

As a licensed clinical social worker, Randy developed her love for helping people and reaching out to those in need. She has used the same approach in her community where she co-founded a volunteer Holiday Outreach Program where she and other Aventura professionals travel to various nursing homes and assisted living facilities singing "golden oldies" to the residents.

Today, Randy applies those social work and psychology skills in her family centered bail bond business. Located directly across the street from the Broward County Jail, David Stern Bail Bonds continues to provide excellent customer service. According to Randy, the career she is most proud of is that of wife and mother. Although her children are still too young to fully understand what she does at the jail, they will surely be proud of how grandpa's business continues to grow and flourish, paving the way for their future.

Jail Population Decreases as the Use of Commercial Bail Increases

WASHINGTON, DC (Jan. 11, 2010) - A new study by the U.S Department of Justice (DOJ) found the number of individuals who were held in jail decreased even through the use of commercial bail bonds has gone up. The overall jail population has decreased from 773,341 in 2007 to 760,400 in 2009.
Michael Hough, public safety resident fellow at the American Legislative Exchange Council, (ALEC) said, “This latest study disproves the myth that the use of bail bonds increases the number of people in jail.  We now know that this connection cannot be made.  The increased use of commercial bail can actually help to alleviate overcrowding in jails.”

This recent study coincides with an earlier DOJ study that found the percentage of individuals who were released from jail on commercial bail increased by 100 percent since 1992.  Today over 40 percent of individuals released from jail have done so on commercial bond.

The National Association of Pretrial Services Agencies, which lobbies for the abolition of commercial bail, released a report in 2009 claiming the pretrial jail population was rapidly increasing due to commercial bail. National Public Radio also made a similar argument in a three-piece report entitled, “Bail Burden Keeps U.S. Jails Stuffed with Inmates.”

While the number of individuals in jail decreased from 2007 to 2009 the number of individuals in prison continued to grow.

Hough said, “Commercial bail is more widely used by local governments and judges because bondsmen are able to quickly free individuals from jail while holding them accountable to return to court to face justice. It is important to note that other factors like a declining crime rate also factored in to the lower jail population, put clearly the anti-private sector bail lobby will have to find something other than jail overcrowding to howl about.”

ExpertBail Agent: Adam Buffington

Adam Buffington

Adam Buffington is not just a member of the ExpertBail family of Agents, but more importantly, he is a leader in his profession. A former semi-pro football player, Adam is definitely not the stereotype that one would expect. He is a passionate and caring person who is devoted to his family, his business and his community. With three young girls and a little boy of his own, Adam understands the important role he has as a father in shaping and cultivating his children’s outlook and journey through life.
Unfortunately, many of the young men that Adam works with on a daily basis that find themselves in trouble or in the worst case, jail, do not have a strong and positive, father-type role model in their lives. In fact, many of them turn to Adam for advice and guidance after they meet him during the bail bond process. It was this growing set of interactions that led Adam to create a non-profit organization to help mentor young men who have lost their way and gotten themselves into trouble. As Adam puts it, “There are so many young men who we bail out who don’t know how to be men. I think with this business, I have a unique opportunity to minister those people, and help them get back on their feet in the right way.”

Adam is committed to continuing the legacy of the bail bond business that has been so rewarding to him. “This industry needs more young, entrepreneur types that understand the true purpose of this business…which is to help people in a difficult time and bring families together. That element often gets lost. There is a legacy of honesty, integrity and caring that our predecessors created in this business and it is up to my generation to advance that.”
