Should Bail Still be A Thing?

You might think that the idea of a criminal paying for their freedom as something that should be abolished. And sure, rich jerks and actual criminals just pay for their freedom after committing crimes is distasteful, along with bail bond companies making money out of the whole thing.

But the system also allows those who need the freedom to keep their jobs and provide for their family. Through the service of bail bondsmen who actually want to help those who need help with making bail. We all have the right to enjoy our freedom, including those who might have strayed from the right path, until the day of their judgment.

Should We Really Forgo Bail?

Many civic groups are rallying for the abolition of cash bails. They argue that it is promoting the rich vs. poor justice system. Surely, a wealthy party goer arrested for DUI wouldn’t mind paying the paltry bail; compared to a lonely, problematic breadwinner who just had a bad day and drank before going home.

While there can be truth to the statement that only the people who could afford bail can be given liberty, it is unfair to brand ALL bail bonds companies are milking this constitutional right of the accused.

Bail bonds are there to aid people who cannot afford to pay their bail upfront. We acknowledge the fact that a significant number of defendants could not even pay the bail premium. In spite of this, legitimate Bail bondsmen are doing their best to address the issue by providing affordable payment options.

The real solution to the issue of the rich vs poor bail is to factor in the capacity and the circumstance of the defendant when the bail is set. In short, make the system equitable. On the side of the bail bonds businesses, we are absorbing the whole risk when the defendant skips bail. What is 10% of the bail to that kind of risk?

We should remember that the purpose of bail is to secure the attendance of the defendant to all of his court hearing while enjoying the temporary liberty given to them. Without setting any bail, it's like giving the defendant a free pass to do crime without any consequence.

Increase In Bail Amounts For Car Crash Cases Noted

There is a notable 40% increase in bail set for cases involving car crashes. The spike in bail amount is triggered by the circumstances of defendants disappearing after they were released from custody. This failure in justice is sad news for families who have lost their loved ones to tragic accidents.

Aside from increase in bail, there should be a review on how to prevent this kind of mistake from happening again.

Algorithm To Aid Courts In Deciding Who Goes Fee

A unique mathematical formula, called algorithm, is now being used in courts to help decide whether a defendant can be released “on own recognizance.” The method is meant to screen an offender’s likelihood to skip trial; thus, removing the need to set bail.

The system was developed by data scientist and criminal justice researchers. It aims to put only the most dangerous defendants in jail while awaiting their trial. The system works by analyzing the severity of the defendant’s records and assessing from that information the probability of the defendant skipping their court day.

The algorithm speeds things up, but it is not fool-proof. It still cannot work independently because only humans got that important thing called “intuition.” The system can just do so much in assessing the case. In fact, the prosecution can still argue the situation and work to overturn the judge’s decision; going back to the same process again. Worse, a wrong release could result in a crime being committed.

Removing bail from the picture is not the primary solution. Instead of thinking of eliminating bail, it is better to think of ways on how to make the justice system work efficiently. Some people may say that bail bond doesn’t encourage a defendant to go to court hearings. Well, if financial commitment doesn’t, what will?
