I know for a fact that Kentucky does not. Trust me cause my grandma got conned into putting her house up for bonds because the bail bondsmen aren't allowed. I believe that the other states that operate under the commonwealth laws do not allow it either. Good luck.
update by tsauce35: I learned that, while the states have many different and complex laws regarding who may post bond, the following states outlaw commercial bonding and bounty hunting: Illinois, Wisconsin, Oregon, and yes, Kentucky.

Where does bail out money come from?
Bail money can come from the the private funds of the individual who is charged, or his family. Also, there are businesses called "Bail Bondsmen" who will, for a fee, loan bail money to the defendant. Their business is to make a return on this investment by charging a fee or interest on the bail amount that is put at risk. (i.e.- for putting up a bail of $1,000. they may charge a $100. fee) If the defendant "skips" and fails to appear in court, the bail bondsman is then out the entire $1,100. Sometimes they can have large amounts of money at risk and this does not make bail bondsmen happy. They will sometimes hire people to locate and return the missing defendant so that they can recovere their money.
