Here is the part NOBODY ever gets about bail reform: Pretrial incarceration causes MORE CRIME than cash bail prevents WHY? Because arrest and pretrial incarceration put people in crisis, even when they are innocent they lose jobs, and can't support their families...it creates massive insecurity
Yes but have you considered that causing more crime on purpose means bigger police budgets?
Some asked for citations on the bail snippets above: The first is this article: www.americanbar.org/groups/crsj/...www.brookings.edu/articles/a-b... You should also read the research of Law Professor Megan Stevenson Hope that is helpful :)
Early Americans fought for a presumption of innocence that valued freedom as equally as justice. But the framers left behind a fatal design flaw: cash bail. As a result, we all pay more than we know.
Can you link the source to this please?
