Cash Bail

FILE - Georgia state Sen. Randy Robertson, R-Cataula, presents Senate Bill 63, Feb. 23, 2023, at the Georgia state Capitol in Atlanta. Republican lawmakers across the country are pushing to increase the use of cash bail and pretrial detention. Their efforts are a counter to Democratic measures that have sought to eliminate cash bail and ensure most defendants are released before trial in states such as Illinois and New York. While Republicans seeking to widen the use of bail acknowledge people are legally presumed innocent before trial, some say they believe most defendants are ultimately guilty and that society would be safer if more are locked up. Robertson said he is “extremely confident” most arrestees are guilty. (Matthew Pearson/WABE via AP, File) FILE PHOTO
