The world has been turned upside down these past few months. As you know, there is a virus going around the entire world that’s infecting so many people. This virus is called COVID-19.
In order to try and halt the spread of COVID-19, many people are staying inside their homes. This is because the more people are around each other, the greater the risk of contracting the virus. Unfortunately for inmates, this isn’t an option. If an inmate has been infected, the other inmates can’t simply leave. They have to stay in jail with the infected inmate which pretty much guarantees that the virus will infect everyone in the facility. This, of course, is extremely deadly.
This is not what you want to hear if you have a loved one in jail right now. However, a lot of states are releasing prisoners to stop the virus from spreading. Not every prisoner gets out though. If a judge feels that an inmate is a risk to society, the judge can file to have that inmate remain in jail.
But since some of them are being released despite having a cash bond to their name, that means that legitimate bail bondsmen are being greatly effected as there are not nearly as many bonds to write out. Some companies are writing only half the amount of bonds they were previously writing before the pandemic.
Obviously, fewer bonds mean less work. Then there are the court dates. So many courts have been closed down so if a defendant wasn’t released and has a pending court date, it is now a mystery when or if they will be able to go to court. The longer they stay in jail, the more likely they come into contact with COVID-19.
This doesn’t just affect the defendant, this affects the family members too. They want to know when they will be able to see their family, but if a bail bondsman isn’t able to contact the court to guarantee a date, there’s not much they can do. With so many dates uncertain, and with some courts being closed, the entire process has been slowed down tremendously.
