Wichita Bail Bond Company Working To Keep People Out Of Jail

 


WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) - A bail bond company in Wichita is doing more than just getting people out of jail. They are working to keep them out. 

Heath Duncan has owned A Second Chance Bail Bonds for 12 years. His goal is to help people in difficult situations find a way out. 

The company still bails people out of jail, but they go beyond that. He said they help people find drug or alcohol recovery programs or shelters. 

"It does seem like a pay-it-forward," Duncan said. "When you see people that came through the doors that's had the opportunity and then go out and give opportunity again, it is a beautiful thing."

While not every person is a success story, the ones who are make it worth it.

"Sometimes we won't know for three or four years down the road, a person will step back in and say, hey, when you guys did this, it helped. I was able to see my kid or I was able to pay rent that week and it does, it's it's awesome to hear those stories," Duncan said.

He said it makes it worth it to hear when people's families have been restored, someone remains sober or those who get out of jail and never return. 

Their website says, "We care about you and your family not only getting your loved one or friend out of jail but also to help and assist in any way we can to avoid the same situation in the future."

More information about A Second Chance Bail Bonds can be found on their website.

Last fall, for example, the FBI reported that violent crime had dropped by 2.1% in 2022. That number was celebrated by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the press, which said it was proof that Donald Trump was lying about a crime wave. RealClearInvestigations discovered that the FBI had secretly updated its crime statistitics, and instead of showing a 2.1% drop in violent crime, there was a 4.5% increase in 2022.   These weren’t minor
