"The greatness of our justice system comes from fairness, equality and liberty before guilt is proven. Mr. Trump’s executive orders only move us further away from those goals — and thousands of Americans will pay the price."

A powerful op-ed from @jeremycherson.bsky.social & David Gaspar of @bailproject.org makes it crystal clear — bail reform makes us all safer and it's a step backward to repeal these advances. The article links to several excellent recent studies of these reforms.

Let’s be clear: there is no credible evidence linking bail reform to rising crime.Bail reform isn’t radical—it’s practical, evidence-based, and effective. And when implemented thoughtfully, it enhances public safety while protecting the presumption of innocence.

Bail reform has benefited tens of thousands of people, but we almost never hear their success stories. Read @brycecovert.bsky.social's 2022 story on the challenges of uplifting these narratives and the effect of the media's fixation on negative outliers.
Bail Reform Helps Countless People. Why Don’t We Hear More of Their Stories?
Personal narratives can help the public understand the benefits of bail reform, but telling these success stories presents its own share of challenges.

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
