Trump to take over D.C. Policing | Chicago Next

Bail is indeed a storied practice, but that doesn't mean the way we do it is right. Historical cash bail policies have often served as a way to keep poor people in jail for months or years even before they are convicted of a crime (and have the chance to be exonerated through a trial). Gene Nichol in particular has written a whole lot about how cash bail and other policies can essentially criminalize being poor.

All right, but the options being considered by the other poster was "cash bail" or "no bail." He was not talking about no-cash bail.
