Because Keeping Violent Offenders in Jail is Unfair

And electronic monitoring needs a bit of work. Chicago bond court *again* filled with people facing gun charges while on bail for pending gun cases | CWB Chicago

At least six people on bond for gun crimes were charged with new gun crimes during felony bond court proceedings in Chicago on Wednesday.

Two of the accused, arrested together, were both escapees from the county’s electronic monitoring program that was supposed to keep them at home while they awaited trial in pending gun cases. They’re both accused of being on the street with guns equipped with extended ammunition magazines and devices that would allow their weapons to generate automatic fire like a machine gun.

The elimination of bail is part of the reason we are seeing an increase in crime in cities all across the country.
