Federal bail bonds are a very different from bonds posted in state, county and municipal criminal courts. Federal bonds are regulated by the federal Bail Reform Act, and modified by the Vacarro case. Bonds posted in federal criminal cases contain a specific 'performance' element which drastically increases the risk to surety. Federal bonds are therefore underwritten a very specific way and through a Poindexter Surety division that specializes in federal court bonds.
