I would keep the money. We each must pay for our own mistakes or wrongdoings.
Depends on who the person is and what they were accused of doing....but, generally, people who are in jail NEED to stay there if only to learn that they hate it and don't want to go back.
@SilverDollarJedi so yeah, if they are in for drugs, hopefully they will get clean in there and change their ways Same for the drunks.
@SilverDollarJedi Cancer is a medical issue. Drug use is a CHOICE. So you wouldn't put a drunk driver in jail? That's stupid. Really stupid. Anyone driving impaired needs locked up. Dumb CHOICES should not put the rest of us at risk.
@SilverDollarJedi Yeah...except I have a BS in Psychology and did my internship at a drug and alcohol rehab center. People MAKE choices. If their choices SUCK, that doesn't mean it's a "medical" issue. You can call an elephant a duck...but it's still an elephant. If you don't want to be in prison, don't make dumb choices and do things that are illegal. For the record, I don't support the war on drugs and I think marijuana should be legalized. However, just because I think that doesn't mean I'm going to ever ever ever break the laws. If you want to smoke pot legally, move to a state where it's legal. But if you smoke it and get behind the wheel...then your ass needs to go to jail. Don't like the laws? Then get your ass into politics and work to change them. But don't sit in your room, smoke pot all day, and pretend to be victimized by your situation.
@SilverDollarJedi Here, fill this out...
The only conditions under which I would put down $39,000 for a person's bail would be (1) if I were convinced that the person was not guilty of the charges, and (2) I really cared about the person. Even if I really cared about the person, if I thought he or she was guilty, I would not put down the bail money. If uou did the crime, you need to accept all of the consequences.
I'd keep the money. There is no "loved one" in my life that I care enough about to bail them out.
If I’m the one they shot, no! Otherwise will take it on a case by case basis.
That is one hefty bond...I would use my house as collateral if I thought the person was falsely charged...of course the loved one has to show up in court for you not to risk losing the house, but there is at least other ways to gather the money before the court actually starts proceedings on collecting on your home...you have more options than laying out cash...you can use the cash later if the loved one is a scumbag and skips...but if a bond is set that high, I am betting they are guilty...I would use the money to get a divorce...
This would have to be tested in real life

It would really depend on the family member and what they did.There are only like 4 family members I care about enough to do that for.
