"Limiting cash bail increases failures to appear in court."

Neutral summary. Cash bail is money a defendant posts to get out of jail before trial. This claim says that limiting it means more people miss court. Appearance rates, rearrests, and jail populations are three different measures. Posted by sample_member · 9 days ago · 640 followers
