And people won’t hold accountability because the people who committed the crime did it by their own decisions.


This was a response from a non profit who helped a criminal get bond and he killed someone a few days later.

[Pull Up the Roots]

That's a poorly written piece of shyt of an article. Good grief.

shytttt that’s a really high % of their total murders

That's over a two year period. And Greg Abbott already signed a law eliminating personal bonds for violent criminals. These stories are being pushed right now to undermine any and all attempts at reform.

Criminal Justice Reform Moves Pretty Fast. Just Ask Harris County DA Kim Ogg.

Soros boogeyman bullshyt. You right-wing shills need some new material.

Bail reform isn't the problem here.

What everybody does seem to agree on is that Harris County's misdemeanor bail reform is not to blame – even though it keeps coming up in the discussion.

Harris County is currently bound to the terms of a settlement from a case that found its use of misdemeanor cash bail unconstitutionally discriminated against people who couldn’t afford to pay. Since then, people accused of misdemeanors in Harris County are often let out of jail with no cash bail – so-called personal recognizance or PR bonds.

Studies have shown letting those accused of low-level crimes out of jail on low-cost or no-cash bail has not led to an increase in reoffenses.

At a recent Crime Stoppers news conference, the group's victim services director Andy Kahan, said he agreed, and wanted to clear up any misconceptions on where they stand.

What side of Houston is bad? Or is it scattered? Also which areas are more hot? Latino areas or black areas?
