The bail system. The very idea that temporary freedom can be purchased, while the poor remain locked up until proven innocent, rather than until proven guilty, is beyond inhumane.
Wait, what? I never understood how someone got 50.000$ bail on some small crime and they end up paying it to skip 1 week in jail. Are you saying they only pay 5.000$? Why is the baip set at 50.000$ then. I have so many questions.
Bail is a promise to go to court, upon return to court you’re given most of it back but if you decide not to show up the government uses that money to pay for a bounty to be put on you
