If you have a lot of money/property you put that up for 100% of the bail amount, which you get back if you show up to court.
If you don’t have enough money/property, you go to a bondsman, pay the 10% and they put up the other 90%. You never get your 10% back even if you show in court.
So if you’re gonna run, you just pay the 10%, which over the decades resulted in bail amounts 10x higher than they should be.
It’s basically a “poor tax” that Rudy apparently has to pay.

So the bail bondsman isn’t going to come after you to get back the 90% he lost when you didn’t show up for court?
