Why can people bail out of jail?
In: 33
The judge decides if you’re eligible for bail, and how much.
Having people locked up in jail isn’t great. Could make jail be overcrowded. It’s another person to take care of behind bars. Letting them go home is overall a win for everybody as long as the person isn’t a threat to those around them. So judges do have that option.
Not to be confused with Prison, which is where you go after the Guilty verdict/plea.
