Repeat

The constitution says, excessive bail shall not be required but it does not disallow bail. Since some cannot afford bail then all bail must be eliminated in order to achieve equity. Many people who are out on bail are repeat offenders. The law could be changed saying that bail is not required on a first offense but is required on any subsequent offenses. Here is a quote from NY City. The numbers are absolutely jaw dropping, 10 men arrested 485 times after bail reform was enacted for all all kinds of crimes -- burglary, robbery, grand larceny, stealing cars. Yet, they have been let out again and again by judges who think they don't have the right to hold them in jail. Illinois has just eliminated all bail. Did anyone there think of other options. Just 327 serial shoplifters accounted for a third of the more than 22,000 retail theft arrests made in the city last year, officials said. This is an average of 70 arrest per person. Does common sense along with this statistic say repeat offenders should remain in jail.
