THE FOUNDER OF BAIL HOUSE BAIL BONDS

Frank Calabretta

In 1973 Frank opened Frank Calabretta’s Bail House Bail Bonds across the street from the old Placer County Jail. When a new county jail, which now has over 500 beds, was built in the 1980’s Frank opened a new office directly across the street from it and soon became known as Placer County’s Bondsman.

Frank’s expertise in cooking Italian dinners for community events made him a culinary legend in Placer County. Whether it was a fundraiser for Little League, Crime Victims United, an awards banquet for the sheriff’s department, or any other worthy cause, Frank and his crew whipped up dishes that left the diners wanting second and even thirds. “I live here, I work here and I want to give something back to the community that’s been so good to me,” says Calabretta.

That same attitude could be seen with Frank's annual Christmas Lights display. For years when you would open the Yellow Pages to “bail bonds,” the first thing you get is a full-page ad of Frank Calabretta’s Bail House Bail Bonds, complete with a photo of a smiling Frank and pictures of his Bail House Christmas decorations that include more than a quarter-million lights.

“The lights are great advertising for me,” says Frank, “but they also provide some holiday cheer for the guys and gals who see them from behind bars in the Placer County Jail. The jailers love them, too. A typical electricity bill for December is $18,000, so I guess PG&E also loves ‘em.” Frank says that the first question asked by many people who phone his office is, “are you the outfit with all the Christmas Lights?” A lot of the callers aren’t even seeking a bail bond. Rather, they call to say how much they and their children enjoyed the holiday decorations.

Frank owned and operated his Bail House until 2022, when long-time employee Melissa Zimmerman took over ownership. Keeping with tradition, Melissa still makes hundreds of pounds of biscotti every year and opens up the Auburn Bail House to the community for meetings, events, and socialization.
