A Brief History of Bail Bonds

It’s probably not surprising to learn that bail bonds gained a lot of popularity in the Old West. Although, yes, a number of the accounts of what happened during that time period have been exaggerated, there’s no denying that it was a much rougher time than the one we live in today. From the Gun Fight at the OK Corral to the mining town of Deadwood, law and lawlessness were frequently at odds with one another.

Legend has it that a pair of brothers began offering bail bonds to their lawyer friends for a fee and that was where bail bonds as they are today was born. Initially, a number of highly publicized pieces in local newspapers discussed the dealings of the first bail bond company as shady. Unfortunately, it’s a reputation that has followed the bail bond industry ever since.
