Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx reflects on historic time in office
CHICAGO – Kim Foxx was born in the notoriously violent Cabrini-Green housing development in Chicago, and eventually made it to the top job in the Cook County State's Attorney's Office. Now set to move on after two terms, Foxx is proud of her personal and professional journey—with no regrets as she plans to step away from public life for a while. 'I remember the first day I walked in here,' Foxx said. 'Eight years seems really fast and really slow at the same time.
'It is allowing for people who are a threat to public safety to be detained and not be able to buy their way out, and for people who are not a threat to public safety to languish in jail simply because they are impoverished,' Foxx said.A recent one-year analysis of bail reform statewide by Loyola University found the new law did not lead to increased crime, more suspects not showing up for court appearances, or an increase in the use of electronic monitoring.
