I know I said "you're right that it should be based on income" but what you're saying now makes even more sense. It should be based on a bunch of other factors, like how likely they are to show up for court, how likely they are to re-offend, etc. Because life is not all about doing what's best for poor people. (I should explain it like that to my state rep.)
