[post_page_title]Child support[/post_page_title]
The day had finally come. After serving just a year and a half out of a five year sentence, Duane Chapman was once again a free man. However, since he had been in prison, he had a small fortune’s worth of child support to pay.
The judge who was in charge of the child support proceedings had heard about Duane’s good behavior and closeness to the prison wardens, and recommended that Duane become a bounty hunter to pay off his child support debts. And a career was born.

Duane “Dog” Chapman would continue to bounty hunt throughout the remainder of the 1980s and 1990s and up until the 2000s. Bounty hunters have been around since the beginning of the United States.
Sometimes called bail enforcement agents, their job is to track down people who have paid bail and left town. The bounty hunter will then track down the bailee for a bail bondsman and bring the person back. The bounty hunter will then be paid by the bail bondsman a percentage of the bail.
