When I was in my late teens and early twenties I was constantly in trouble.  Usually for petty stuff, but even that can add up to mean a whole heap of trouble.  I was pretty good at staying out of jail but after a few years it all caught up to me and I was remanded.  The amount of bail they were asking was very high and there was no way I could pay it.  And I was looking at a very long jail term if I was found guilty, which I was pretty sure was going to happen.  I wanted to have a day or two of freedom to tie up some loose ends.  The guy in the cell next to me mentioned a bail bonds agent he had used in the past.  I got the guy’s number and gave him a call.

He told me he could take care of my bail bonds.  South Carolina has a justice system that can be a bit slow, but he got me out in no time.  We talked for a bit and I told him I was sure I was going to get some jail time.  He told me to call him when I got out and we’d go for coffee, talk about things. 

I ended up getting two years and during that time really cleaned myself up.  I called the bail bonds agent when I got out and we talked.   He gave me a job out of his Michigan bail bonds office and I’ve been slowly learning the trade.  Seems I have a real knack for it.
