Zero bail during COVID-19
from Greater LA
It’s tough to maintain social distance inside jails and prisons. California officials are turning to zero cash bail so some inmates are released early. However, there are reports of repeat offenses. Meanwhile, State Senator Robert Hertzberg wants to rethink bail. He’s authored Senate Bill 10, which puts the decision to release an inmate into the hands of a judge and a computer algorithm — instead of requiring the inmate to pay to get out. Angelenos will vote on SB-10 in November.
