I don't understand why they would want to cut off funds for eliminating cash bail. This seems like it could have negative consequences for those who can't afford bail. It's concerning how this could impact our justice system. #HRBill8821 #CashBailReform #UnsureOfTheDetails The short term affects of this bill could lead to increased incarceration rates and further inequality in the criminal justice system.
