Well, after serving the people of the state of Connecticut for over 5 years as a bail bondsman, I've seen a lot. Really, people just need help and most of the time don't know how to go about finding out or are too scared to ask. Roughly 6 months ago, I joined the Reliance House Inc. family that serves local communities in eastern Connecticut. While bailing people out of jail, I found myself trying to help them beyond just taking their money and running away without a care in the world like most bondsmen. Since Connecticut is working towards keeping people out of jail, just purely because of the cost which is now up to $58,0000 a year, that I would look to work towards the good of my neighbor rather than self interest greed. This self serving greed is the motive of all the bail bond companies of this state. Yes there is a need for a bail system, but it shouldn't come as a black eye to the community. A lot of these bail bondsmen are criminals themselves, but because of the lack of budget of the state to investigate the operations, a majority just rob citizens, when they are suppose to be held to a higher level of fiduciary responsibility. It's really organized crime, that I wouldn't be surprised if the underworld crime organizations had their hands in.
Anyway, I'm putting distance between myself and the industry and giving up my license when it expires. I am glad that I was able to help a lot of people but I am sorry to those who I was told to take their money and run. It appears that the bail bond tree has rotted from the core and made almost all the fruit bad. Worst part, is that it is regulated by the insurance industry which controls a majority of this countries assets. Makes me and others concerned about the responsibility of that industry as well, and if they are paying certain others to look away and not investigate them because they control our society with their wealth and gamble with people's lives by using their invested funds to make themselves wealthy. My evidence being AIG, where the American people bailed this giant out because "they are too big to fail." Where the global economy would crash if this company went bankrupt. Well, now myself and many other Americans including others in the global economy are suffering for their actions of bad mortgage swaps. However, that is a whole other topic. They got bailed out and I'm paying for it. Value of my house lost $50,0000 because of them, but I'm still paying my mortgage.
Rather than dwell on the negative, I will help others and remain positive, besides, those millionaires work their whole lives to keep other's from their money, I don't have that stress because I don't have any. Ya, life would be easier, but would I be happier? The "wealthy" I've met never seem happy. It's never enough. What I have, has VALUE, because I know what it's like to have to earn it, not steal it or use other's to get it.
