Do you mean bail bonds? Well, they get "bailed" for an amount of money, meaning that they don't have to be in jail until their next trial. In America, it is innocent until proven guilty, and going by that statement, it is acceptable for people who haven't been proven guilty to pay money to not go to jail.
As least, that's how it is to my knowledge.

Yeah, even though sometimes we don't want to accept it, we're supposed to operate under the "Innocent until proven guilty" assumtion. Under that logic, people are able to post bail, and not have to sit in jail till their court date.

I have no huge problem with it. Even if they cut out, they're still down half a million dollars, and all their assets are fozen and their on the run.

Not to mention bounty hunters are very effective at hunting them down.

It seems fairly idiotic to me, if its a theif or something, not a huge problem, but if a rapist or a killer (i dont care if its manslaughter) gets out on bail, they have a chance to rape or kill again.

Sam summed it up pretty well, try reading his post. Bail isn't a "get out of jail free" card.

...Because our constitution says so? All bail is doing is preventing them from going to jail until they are convicted in a court.

Ah, so someone can't commit a crime in a week? A day? A few hours?
I did read his post, and i believe that it lets you out of jail for sufficent time to hurt someone.
P.S. Even if it did get you out of jail permenently, it wouldnt be a get out of jail for free, you still have to pay...

Sam summed it up well. Plus the goverment needs money too, so it's not only part of our constitution but another way to make money for the goverment.

But for every 1 criminal who actually did do something worth being in jail, there are more than likely 10 people who don't deserve being raped up the bum in the showers.

Why should we let killers out of jail for money if they are killers.
(Thought to be)

If they have a suffieient amount of facts and such then they should let them have a bond.

Because our judicial system is based on the philosophy that no one is guilty in legality until they are declared so in a court of law.

If you disagree with our Constitution, that's a whole different topic.
