Why can people bail out of jail?
In: 33
Picture this:
Your female neighbor calls 911 on you, her upstairs neighbor, for threatening her. You didn’t do it, and don’t really know why she said this, but the police come and arrest you for making threats.
Next day rolls around, you don’t make it to work and can’t call them. You lose your job.
Next week rolls around, you need to pay your rent, but you are in jail and can’t. You lose your apartment.
Your trial date comes up and everybody realizes it was a big mistake to arrest you and that the woman was mistaken and thought you were somebody else. You are set free, just 2 weeks later. But you have no belongings, no place to live, and no job.
This is why letting people out of jail to prepare for their trial and live their life is important.
