The greatest tragedy and failure of bail reform and criminal justice reform is people who still might be alive today. Bail reform was and is a dangerous experiment administered at the expense of that delicate balance between accountability and public safety.
As a dynamic and diverse country, the United States faces many issues; many of them urgent. As a nation, we grapple with the solutions to make our quality of life better, for all, than it was yesterday.
Current bail reform policies that have swept into major U.S. cities have key selling points so that the public can feel good about imposing such reforms.Second selling point? Harris County, Texas is no more immune to these failures than suburban, or metropolitan New York, California, Chicago, Illinois, and Atlanta.
Now that the criminal justice system has been at a breaking point, we see massive dismissals of both misdemeanors and felony cases to ease the backlog. The overall conclusion is that "bail reform" fails to reduce incarceration rates because defendants recycle into jail at a faster rate than they can be released on bond.
The violation of individual due process rights that "bail reform" would have you believe is another one of its falsehoods.
