Bryan Jordan sits with his family after they helped bond him out of jail. Jordan’s niece, Alexis, said they had to get 10 cosigners in order for the bail bondsman to take a chance on Jordan. “People profit off of this, profiting off your desperation. I was desperate, I just wanted to get out,” Jordan said. “And people in your family want to see you out, so they don’t care about signing them papers. There’s nobody that’s gonna be upset about saying I put my credit or my collateral on the line, because you want to see your family member.” Photo provided by Alexis Jordan / ctmirror.org
