Bail Reform Pt. 1: A Conversation w/ Ken W. Good

Good Law | Bad Law

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by attorney Ken W. Good, to discuss bail bond, the notion of bail bond reform, and the wide-ranging implications bail decisions can have on the broader criminal justice system.

Today, Aaron and Ken have a conversation about the state of bail in America, the impact the bail industry has, and continues to have, on society, and what exactly the point of bail is. Today’s episode is the first part of our series on bail and bail reform and today’s discussion is at times tense as Ken and Aaron touch on the topics of race, jail populations and overcrowding, urban environments and the irrefutable failings (past and present) of our country.

Mr. Good graduated from Hardin Simmons University and received his Masters in Education from Tarleton State University; he received his law degree from Texas Tech School of Law and was a member of the Texas Tech Law Review. Mr. Good has argued cases before the Supreme Court of Texas and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. He is the author of “Good’s on Bail,” a practice guide created for bail industry professionals and has written several articles on the subject of bail reform and the bail system. He is a professional bondsman and is on the board of Directors for the Professional Bondsmen of Texas.
