Yes.
If I am correct, yes.
Two men, charged with the same crime, bail set at $10,000 for each.
The first man makes $120k a year. He pays $10k.
The second man makes $25k a year. He doesn’t have $10k, so he stays in prison. By day 4, he’s considered to have legally abandoned his job, so he’s fired.
And this is not justice.
I have heard *that* cash bail is bad, but don't have enough understanding to explain why.
Yes.
Illinois banned cash bail in 2023. (I looked that up for the year)
2. Yes
