			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>A Critical Analysis of the Justice Policy Institute’s Proposals for Bail Reform</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether consumers realize it or not, there is currently a war being waged in the criminal justice system: a war being waged by government funded programs on a private industry.  A war being waged with taxpayer dollars against a private industry that generates significant revenue for states and local communities. A war being waged that adversely impacts our communities’ public safety interests.</p>
<p><strong><em>Did you know that violent career criminals are being released from jail on nothing but a promise to return for their court dates?</p>
<p>Did you know that your tax dollars are used to fund these releases?</em></strong><br />
<strong><em> </em></strong><br />
<strong><em>Did you know that almost 30% of those people released on a “promise” never show up to court?</p>
<p>Did you know that no one goes after those people to bring them back?</p>
<p>Did you know that the only way these persons are returned to custody is when they are ultimately re-arrested for additional crimes…thus creating another crime victim in the process?</em></strong><br />
<strong><em> </em></strong><br />
<strong><em>Did you know that there is a method of pretrial release that doesn’t cost taxpayers anything?</em></strong><br />
<strong><em> </em></strong><br />
<strong><em>Did you know that there is a method of pretrial release that ensures that 99% of those released make it to court…and that for those who do not make it to court, it pays a financial penalty to the county?</em></strong><br />
<strong><em> </em></strong><br />
