[QUOTE="NationalMatch, post: 3871984, member: 48586"] More will leave because of this: [HEADING=1]Outcry as thousands of prisoners are set to be RELEASED from jail when Illinois becomes first state to introduce no cash bail in January: State attorneys desperately sue Gov Pritzker amid fears already spiraling crime will soar[/HEADING] [HEADING=1][/HEADING] [URL="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11288183/Thousands-prisoners-set-RELEASED-Illinois-jails-no-cash-bail-law.html"]Thousands of prisoners are set to be RELEASED from Illinois jails[/URL] Thousands of prisoners are set to be released across [URL='https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/illinois/index.html']Illinois[/URL] as it becomes the first state to completely do away with cash bail under a new law that goes into effect in January. The Safety, Accountability, Fairness and Equity-Today Act (SAFE-T Act) completely abolishes the cash bail system, which critics say disproportionately impacts black and brown communities and other underrepresented or impoverished groups. Under the law, anyone who is arrested may be released back on to the streets based on the assumption of innocence guarantee under the United States Constitution, though criminals accused of certain crimes — like forcible felonies, stalking and domestic abuse — will be exempt from pretrial release. But ever since it was signed into law, Illinois law enforcement officials have warned that the SAFE-T Act will embolden criminals and make it harder to keep offenders off the streets, as crime rates are already spiraling out of control in Chicago. Critics have compared it to The Purge, a movie in which the U.S. decriminalizes all crime for 24-hours. And in just one county, officials report that 400 prisoners there will be released once the law goes into effect. [/QUOTE]
