Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night

Bonding Ain’t Easy

Pictured above are the representatives from three different bail bonding services: Busy Bee Bail Bonding, Hustle Hard Bailbond, and David Beasley’s Bail Bonding. The gentlemen above were all perched near the Wake County Jail, looking for prospective new clients on a Saturday night.

What got my attention was the van with the neon OPEN sign. There’s a lot of competition for bail bonding downtown, so these shrewd businessmen use the neon sign to catch the attention the family/friends of those needing a bondsman to get someone out of jail.
