- Abstract
The article discusses the regulatory aspects of bails in the U.S. It mentions that bail is a distinctive component of the U.S. legal system in that it provides wealthy individuals with the opportunity to avoid pretrial detention. It found that system of bail is disproportionately detrimental to the poor and inherently aristocratic. It also discusses several alternatives to for-profit bail bondsmen for their clients.
