    8 years. Arrested for a non-violent drug offense 8 years ago...he was locked up 8 years WAITING FOR TRIAL. Never even convicted. Today they just let him go. No trial. Nothing. 8 years. A grave injustice.http://www.theadvocate.com/new_orleans/news/courts/article_d76e9496-c995-11e7-bd8b-4bb8d14cacbf.html …

        People who are wrongly imprisoned should get millions of dollars from the state. Like, they literally took away years of his life.

        I know that money can’t really make up for lost time, but with the time they have left, it’s the least we can do

        I hope he gets a good rights attorney for this. He deserves so much in restitution for the years he’s lost.

        Private prisons need to be continuously sued until they leave the "business."

        Earlier this year #NewJersey moved away from cash bail for most offenses. Still a work in progress but no doubt a step in the right direction. #bailreform

        Be willing to debate this statement in 6 to 18 months? Watch the rapid decline in your communities and your courtrooms. Police will leave as well. #BailReform

        Frankly I have no intention of debating #BailReform with anyone that has a financial incentive to keep the old system. Especially when elected officials, prosecutors, public defenders, advocates, and judges agree changes were warranted.

        Understood, debating at times is difficult for some. Just reminder our original statement about the 6 to 18months. The decline will be rapid & you + others that support #bail reform will own all of it. #HappyThanksgiving

        If he was a white swimmer who raped a girl behind a dumpster, he’d have been out 7 years and 10 months ago.
