New York's No Bail System Is Insane

Keeping violent criminals in jail is unfair, so they don't even try. Man busted on assault freed, then allegedly beats 2 women

The headline carries most of the meaning. This guy is clearly a violent criminal, and yet they didn't even request bail. "Supervised release."

In court Friday, Manhattan prosecutors recommended that Johnson be released under supervised monitoring for the attacks on the women, a request the judge granted.

A rep for the DA’s office said none of the charges were harsh enough to allow the judge to order Johnson held on bail.

So they will release this guy again and again, until he kills someone.

And I get that he is innocent until proved guilty, but what about safeguarding society at large? When did that become a bad thing?
