It's the other way around: NOT having money should not condemn someone to rot in jail. The point is to minimize the risk of flight while remembering that defendants are presumed innocent.
We need to replace a money bail system with a risk assessment system. Just having bail money should not guarantee someone’s release from jail.https://twitter.com/latimesopinion/status/930929478263607296 …

We need to immediately! This man posed a great risk to society, clearly, but his ability to pay for his freedom enabled him to senselessly spray an elementary school! Thank you, Kamala, for leading the

Sorry—but the 8th Amendment prohibits excessive bail precisely to avoid the problem of jailing people without a trial. The presumption of innocence and the limitation on excessive bail are clearly linked. Furthermore, the point is to avoid inflicting punishment before conviction.

I 100% agree. Actuarial risk assessment measures, combined with dynamic risk factor measures & a psych eval, can help determine if a person should stay in or get out till trial.
