I see nobody has mentioned the "Freedom Funds," so, I will do so now. One of the better known ones: http://www.thebronxfreedomfund.org/ http://www.thebronxfreedomfund.org/ What these are revolving, non-profit bail funds. They screen those who require bail as to maximize the recovery of the money, choosing those that are thought to have good prospects in showing up to court. They seem to be quite effective at this, so I think there is a reasonable chance the law's "commissions" can also enjoy some accuracy. It also lends some ideas as to how such commissions can be held accountable, benchmarked, or enjoy some internal competition.
