In this episode of Justice Unfiltered, hosts Tug Cowart and Daniel Matalon of A 2nd Chance Bail Bonds sit down with licensed bail recovery agents Josh Hackman and Kevin Pettyjohn for a first for the show: an inside look at what happens when someone skips bail.

Josh, an Army veteran with combat deployments, has averaged around 300 arrests a year for more than 11 years.  Kevin has been at it for 28 years, starting with a first case on Lookout Mountain that sent him back to the same front door days later. The two explain why a bond can be revoked without a new crime, why calling yourself a "bounty hunter" is a misdemeanor in Florida while Tennessee requires agents to wear the words on their vest. Plus, how a doormat, a stain on the concrete, or the building behind you in a photo can give away your location.

They also share the story of the truck driver who swore they would never find his girlfriend, and the day they put Daniel in a van as a decoy courier for a 6'6" fugitive. Plus: what TV gets wrong (the arrest is about 5% of the job), and what it really takes to break into a field with fewer than a dozen full-time agents in Georgia.
