Content: catch the fugitive and return them to jail. There are two ways bounty hunters make money. The first, and most common, is finding people who skipped out on bail and return them to prison. Sometimes bail is more than a defendant can afford so they utilize a bail bond to get out. Bail bonds are provided by bondsman or bail agents. The defendant, a friend, or relative, pays the bondsman’s fee, which is usually 10-20% of the bail amount, and the agent issues a bond to the court for bail. Essentially, the agent is paying the bail for the defendant. If the defendant skips bail and doesn’t show up for their scheduled court appearances bail is forfeit and a warrant is issued for their arrest. The defendant is now considered a fugitive. In this scenario, the bail agent has just lost the entire amount they paid to the court to get the defendant released and won’t be able to get it back until the fugitive returns to jail.
