Just boggles the mind.What's Happening With Bail Reform At The Texas Legislature's Special Session?
special session GOP bail bills
would keep more people who have been accused but not convicted of violent or sexual crimes in jail unless they had enough cash to bond out;
expand the list of offenses for which defendants may not be released on cashless personal bonds;
and restrict charitable groups’ ability to pay to get criminal defendants out of jail.
increasing reliance on money bail would lead to the mass detention of poor criminal defendants while those who are wealthy could still walk free, and
that a proposed statewide risk assessment tool would unfairly punish minority defendants.
GOP bail bills aim to keep more criminal defendants deemed dangerous behind bars.
