The purpose of cash bail is to ensure that the defendant returns to court. Setting high bail values to prevent release puts a cash price on freedom. If someone is too dangerous to be released, bail should instead be denied entirely.

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

70% of all people in jails are legally innocent. Many of them are held behind bars simply because they cannot afford bail.
Money bail perpetuates an endless cycle of poverty and jail time.

Ending cash bail in Illinois is a victory against a system that criminalizes poverty and exploits the working class. Justice shouldn’t be a commodity. This is a step toward dismantling the structures that uphold inequality. #AbolishCapitalism #EndCashBail
Illinois Has Put an End to the Injustice of Cash Bail
Amid a national backlash against criminal justice reform, Illinois has achieved something extraordinary. It’s working better than anyone expected.

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.

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.
