How American taxpayers are spending billions to keep innocent men behind bars:[dailydot.com]
According to a report
by the Associated Press, de Blasio’s $17.8 million plan will start
gradually, allowing judges “to replace money-bail for about 3,000
low-risk defendants [out of 45,500 in New York City] with supervision
options including regular check-ins, text-message reminders, and
connecting them with drug or behavioral therapy.”Of course, this issue is hardly limited to New York City. According
to the International Centre for Prison Studies (an English penological
research group), the problem of bail-bond discrimination has reached the
level of a humanitarian crisis—roughly 480,000 Americans spend time in
jail every year simply because they can’t afford to make bail.
