    Great post and explanation.

    Worth also noting the amount varies for state/federal/immigration-related bonds (generally increasing from 10/15/20%). This can vary by state law, too.

    It can also vary depending on the size of the bond. A $200,000 bond may have a higher percentage than a $2,000.

    Getting in lots of trouble is much more expensive than getting into little bits of trouble, in one of the few progressively-structured aspects of our criminal justice system.

    Also worth noting it’s probably only progressively-structured because the constitution requires it, via the 8th amendment.
