Emily Bazelon on Twitter: "14 prosecutors from around the country (including two in NY, where it counts most right now) sign on to ending cash bail. They call for "establishing a presumption that people should be released pretrial for all but the most serious offenses." https://t.co/YteiZv4Ewm"

  .@DARollins signed on but @SCDAONews remains w/out policy on $bail or the charges she pledged to decline. Last month @MassBailFund paid upwards of $16,000 in unaffordable bails in Suffolk County. Public posturing is meaningless w/out office policy.https://twitter.com/CourtWatchMA/status/1103058202026037253 …

  Beyond decline to prosecute pledges, @DARollins ran on a #bailreform platform. But @MassBailFund paid $bail & fees in Suffolk County to the tune of: $16,020 in Feb. 2019, vs. $6,995 in Feb. 2018 A 229% INCREASE on @DARollins' watch #first100days https://twitter.com/MassBailFund/status/1103027144173776896 …

  You’re clear that this is a trash proposal, right? This would maintain the status quo, but worse. Presumption of release = prosecutors could move for detention of literally EVERYONE.

  Exactly. I've read where prosecutors/judges argued that BC the defendant was unemployed, they're likely to re-offend or attacked their character as unable to keep a job. Yet they lost their job for being in pretrial jail for weeks.

  Lower bails significantly. Don’t toss out the baby with the bath water? Bail is not a penalty judges apply equally. This change could result in more poor folks (especially POC) being held over for trial, not fewer. Because too much discretion is still in the judge’s hands.

  The Prison Industrial Complex is not just prisons themselves, it is mutually reinforcing web of relationships, and not limited to prisons, the probation service, the police, the courts, all companies that profit from transporting, feeding and exploiting prisoners, and so forth.

  If you eliminate cash bail incarceration rates will go up.

  A presumption is weaker than all the proposals currently being debated, all of which are categorical in their elimination of bail.

  Does anyone know if they are planning a more official-looking version of the letter? I want to use it but... it's not signed by hand or on any letterhead that I can see
