       #CashlessBail is a system where defendants are released from #jail while awaiting trial based on their promise to appear in court, rather than by paying a specific cash amount.Many low-income people can't afford to post bond.The nationwide #ExecutiveOrder will direct US AG #PamBondi to submit a list of #local & #state jurisdictions with cashless bail policies & identify #federal funds in those places that could be "suspended or terminated”.#Trump #law #justice #plutocracy

       The order aimed at #DC will call for #PamBondi to identify potential actions that include restricting #federal #funding, services & approvals.The nation's capital was one of the first #US #cities to largely eliminate cash #bail in the 1990s. Under the city's policy, a judge assesses whether a defendant should be released from jail based on their risk of not showing up for trial.#Trump #law #justice #CashlessBail #plutocracy

       @Nonilex Those bail bond companies have thrown a lot of cash around, and seem to be in-tight with the police.

       @Nonilex DC has an outstanding rate of people showing up for trial. The system is based on detaining only the truly dangerous and/or highest flight risks. Basing the system on who can afford bail is a de facto criminalization of poverty.
