This video is one of the most important things to watch to understand our society and the legal system we have created. Two 5-year-olds are confined in a concentration camp because they lack cash assets to pay bond. Just take a look at their drawing. www.threads.com/@maddowshow/...

Rolling back bail reform is driven by fear, not evidence.
Expanding pretrial detention doesn’t improve safety—it ties freedom to wealth and erodes due process for people presumed innocent, explains Cato’s Kayla Susalla.

New Bail Project Report: Are Bail Reform Efforts Diminishing?
Raising or constitutionalizing cash bail standards does not enhance safety; it merely penalizes poverty. Meaningful reform requires protecting communities without sacrificing constitutional principles.

Forcing innocent people to plead guilty isn't accountability. Burying families in fines and debt isn't justice. When the system breaks people, we ALL lose. Strong communities need real reform. Learn more via the link in our bio.

Critics of cash bail say it creates a two-tiered justice system: Those who can pay maintain their freedom, while those unable to pay remain behind bars.
Bail reform faces backlash as policymakers move to require cash bond for pre-trial defendants

Your case outcome shouldn't depend on whether you're in a cage. But it does. Detained pretrial vs. fighting from freedom = dramatically different results. That's not justice—it's a system designed to punish poverty. Full video link in our bio.

Which by the way is the main reason I hate cash bails!
You're ONLY accused and yet you have to come up with $$ in order to be free to defend yourself.
Cops get to wait to be found "not guilty" by their friends while not working and getting paid.
BULLLLLLLSHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.

Being put on paid leave is actually the first and only sensible thing that gets done with police misconduct.
No one should be punished for accusations that have yet to be proven.
The problem is 99.99% of the time, police investigating themselves end up going nowhere or found NOT guilty.

Put on a paid leave and under "investigation".

Watching the way the Trump administration is using criminalization as a weapon ought to make clear how criminalization works even in normal times.

Cash bail should be abolished, and those who are charged with violent crimes should be in jail until a jury decides if they’re guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
And we should end qualified immunity so that we’re all held to the same standard.

Cages don’t make us safe—they create the conditions that drive violence: shame, isolation, economic harm, exposure to violence. Real safety = accountability + healing.
