On November 3rd, voters in Los Angeles County joined an overwhelming majority of all California voters in striking down the implementation of Prop. 25, which would have eliminated cash bail bonds in the state. The vote in LA County was as lopsided as it was in the rest of the state, with nearly 55% of county voters choosing to retain cash bail and roughly 45% wanting to abolish it. On the same day, those voters chose George Gascon to be their n...
On November 3rd, George Gascon was elected District Attorney for Los Angeles County. During the campaign leading up to the vote, Gascon stated one of his goals as District Attorney would be to "implement programs to end mass incarceration by working to end money bail”. That sounds very noble and all, but there’s only one problem: the District Attorney is not elected to make or change laws, but to prosecute those who violate them.

Even those who’ve been given second chances (Tiffany Harris, anyone?) sometimes return to a life on the other side of the law.
Does the current cash bail system – the norm in most states across America – ne...
The reason that U.S. jails, including in Jefferson County, Arapahoe County, and Denver County, are overcrowded is well-documented and controversial. Some point to a lack of new facilities, surges in crime, bureaucratic red tape, unfair criminal penalties, the burden of excessive bail on the poor, and so forth. All of this has led to wholesale revisions in America’s cash bail system, causing rifts between those who support eliminating it compl...
More and more people across the country are learning the hard way that if you remove accountability from the criminal justice system by ending bail bonds things will go off the rails. Without the possibility of losing bail money, and secure in the knowledge that they will be quickly released after being arrested, criminals will do what criminals do: commit crimes.
