A MAN awaiting trial for kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon was granted Supreme Court bail on Friday.
Kermit Evans, 39, was granted $12,000 bail with one or two sureties before Justice Joyann Ferguson.
As part of his bail conditions, Evans is to be fitted with an electronic monitoring device and must surrender his travel documents.
He is also required to sign in at the Grove Police Station every Tuesday and Saturday by 6pm, and was warned not to have any contact with prosecution witnesses or risk having his bail revoked.
Once his bail is perfected, Evans will be released from the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.

Amazing, the first three articles today are about bail given to individuals who participated in criminal activity AND where given a Get-Out-Of Jail low value bail.
I understand there is a cost/burden to keeping individuals in an overcrowded jail. I also see the amounts placed on the Bail should be relative to the economic standing of the individual & extent of the crime.
But often we see repeat offenders with multiple charges getting out with low bail, paid from questionable sources & ankle monitors. So what are the incentives to minimize criminal activities beyond experiencing time in a deplorable jail?
