I guess it goes to show that bail is a pretty ineffective way to assure attendance when it is often not paid by the defendant. It seems like DC has a pretty high court appearance rate without it.

bail funds have a fixed capitalization they have incentives to get their bail money back ; perhaps they will lead on the defendants to appear ...and to the degree that they don't, their capital gets used up

I strongly suspect that they're just getting people out. I'm curious about a tangent, which is selective pressure on such funds. Capitalism is great because it bleeds resources away from ineffective / wasteful firms, and accumulates them in effective firms. I see similar here

yes, but we can't just look at a static slice over time, bail funds will either optimize for doing good wood / getting their money back, or they will funnel money from rich white liberals to police depts and courts in the first case, society wins in the second, liberals lose
