quote:

This project seeks to engage people in a dialog about the fact that the justice system takes as a basic assumption that poor people will not be able to afford bail.

Yeah, the mechanism put in place to allow poor people (actually anyone not considered a flight risk) to get out of jail is also specifically trying to keep poor people in jail. By giving them a way to get out that they wouldn't have otherwise had. If bail didn't exist and everyone had to wait in jail until their court date, that would be so much fairer for working-class people who have jobs to go to. Makes total sense.

(Disclaimer: I do :clint:recovery work:clint: for the bail industry and I've heard this criticism a bunch. Yeah, anything that costs money is going to be less accessible to the poor, but saying that anything that costs money is bad for the poor is dumb.)

the idea generally isn't "get rid of bail and make everyone wait in jail forever" the idea is "replace bail with a system that takes income into account and allows alternatives", and since that will never happen in the modern political climate instead "try to help poor people who can't afford bail not have to rely on what's basically incredibly predatory lending"

i'm not sure why you think it's not "bad" for the poor, unless you're one of those "well if you didn't want to be arrested just don't do any crimes!" people

cash bail completely fucks over the working poor in a way that many can't appreciate. there is countless tales of someone taking a lovely plea deal for a charge they aren't guilty of just simply to get out of jail because they couldn't afford bail and need to get back to work to feed their families. philly's da has done a lot to help fix this situation and i applaud him.

bail as a concept isn't bad, but cash bail is just another way that poor people get disproportionately hosed by our justice system.
