Read This ! The Tarrant County Pre-Trial Release program costs the Tarrant County Taxpayers over $900000 a year to operate. Why give special treatment to people who break the law ? I could understand if it was a first time offender, but child molesters, rapists, big time drug dealers, and anyone else they feel like letting out of jail. Why even arrest them if these judges are just going to let them out for next to nothing ? The Tarrant County Pretrial Service charges 20 dollars or 3 percent,whichever is greater. How does that teach anyone a lesson about breaking the law. When they bond out through pre-trial release then miss their court date, no one is liable for them, so there is no rush trying to rearrest these people. They don't keep track of where these people are at while on bond with pre-trial release. This is a very costly program for taxpayers, when there are over 100 bail bondsmen and attorneys that can get these people out of jail without having to use the taxpayer's money. Unbelievable that your tax dollars go directly towards the release of criminals that have committed crimes against you. Someone can rob the business that you own, burglarize your house, or molest your child and you, the Tarrant county taxpayer, are the one paying for their release.
