Cash bail should be used to


Alleviate concerns about flight risks/failure to appear. A flight risk could be a) someone with the means to flee combined with charges serious enough to provide an incentive for them to flee, or b) someone with a history of failing to appear in court. I’m 100% on board with cash bail in those circumstances.

Cash bail should NOT be used to alleviate safety concerns. NO bail should. If someone is a danger to others and they are able to post cash bail, does the act of them posting cash bail make them no longer a danger ?
