New Orleans bail bonds can be easy to get if you understand the process. Unfortunately, many of those who need them are from out of town and get swept up in the party atmosphere. TIP: New Orleans bail bondsmen will typically not let a client leave the state after posting bail. This can be a huge inconvenience for those who live eslewhere. If this could be a problem for you, we suggest you ask them about their policy on this issue in an email where you will have a recorded quote from them.
WARNING: the New Orleans newspaper The Times-Picayune, exposed that the FBI launched a widening probe of crooked bail bond transactions in the New Orleans parish in April 2012. This comes after another investigation into bail bondsmen last summer. We strongly recommend that all your initial communications with bail bond agents be by email so there is a written record of exactly what was said and promised by the bondsman.
Unfortunately, New Orleans has come under fire in recent years for housing inmates in deplorable, overcrowded, underfunded and violent conditions. Adding to the problem, it may be more common in New Orleans to be given jail time for minor offenses than any comparable city in America. This has lead to an unstable jail system and we strongly recommend that you take any arrest in this jurisdiction seriously.
On the other hand, with all the outside pressure from the U.S. government, federal marshals, SPLC and other agencies, the parish has been forced to evaluate ways to lessen the overcrowding. Generally that means programs designed to give defendants a way to get out either through affordable bail bonds or no bail bond requirement at all. TIP: a little known pre-trial program started in May 2012, allows arrestees to meet with a screener panel of usually three people, who can help expedite the bail process and recommend to the judge bail requirements. When emailing bail bond agents, ask them how to arrange this.
