The @GeorgeGascon algorithm — which @chesaboudin continues to use to decide if suspects are “low risk” — didn’t work too well with #VermondJones. Gascon is at fault, along with Boudin, #lenientjudges, and Boudin’s no money bail. Jones should have been in prison. Now he’s dead.https://twitter.com/genothefox/status/1312283107244994560 …
What’s up with bail anyway? Why not just keep people in prison rich or poor? Would it be some crazy wait time until the trial or whatever happens afterwards?

Yes. Takes an average of about 270 days to resolve a felony case in SF. If everyone stays in people inherently will plead guilty just to get out more quickly. Also flies in the face of the presumption of innocence.

Ok, I’m under the impression it was done wrong. Bail is not a discriminatory practice, it’s not racist, it’s not classist, it’s just stupid, and it comes from our innefecient courts. Whatever is causing the 270 days to not be 2.7 days is the issue.
