Someone please help me understand why anyone would choose Option 1 over Option 3 to pay their bond in Fulton County, GA.

Black text on white background: Here's what to know about paying a bond in Fulton County and three different ways to do so to avoid being detained: * The first is with cash, which would require the amount to be paid in full at the jail. * The second way is through "commercial surety," in which a defendant would use a professional bonding company. The Fulton County Sheriff's Office publishes an "approved bonding list" for companies it works with. If a defendant goes with this option, the company doesn't actually pay any money to the county, but the defendant would have to pay a fee to the company for using their services. * The third option is the "Fulton County Jail 10% program," which allows a defendant to pay just 10% of their total bond amount -- plus fees and other associated costs.

@smurthys aren’t bonds an absolutely ridiculous concept to begin with?

@ronald How else do you propose keeping poor people locked up?
