Ah. There were a half-dozen of those on the way to the jail. I seem to recall my colleague had a choice of posting $300 with a commercial bond agent who would then post the $2500 with the court or anyone could post the whole $2500 in cash at the jail directly. (Was in Florida in Feb 1997.)

And in some cases, that is allowed, but not always.
I'm to the point I think it is all a scam, and I'm ashamed we've let it get to this point.
