    That's the thing a lot of people don't understand about bail. The vast vast majority of people who get arrested get offered bail. A lot of people just can't afford to pay it. The people who can afford to pay bail already have a huge advantage for their defense. It is incredibly difficult to deal with the outside world and understand accurately what's going on with your case from inside jail. You pretty much can only talk to your attorney when they decide to and even then it's in a very limited fashion.
    There are some people who should be denied bail but beyond that there should not be a multi-tier system where some people can afford to go home and others can't.

      There is a US government video on a US government website that tells Americans how to grow "Marihuana" to defend our country during World War II.
      It is called *Hemp for Victory.* The federal license to grow Cannabis Sativa that is shown in the video reads, "Producer of Marihuana."
      The film was banned from the American public for 45 years after World War II to make "Marihuana" illegal again and wage the war on drugs.
      *Hemp for Victory* was found in the Library of Congress in 1989 and has been officially available to the US voting public since 1990, but it is still ignored to continue the war on drugs.
      So, if any Americans want systemic reform and change, make this video finally go viral so that there is no longer any debate over the so-called "dangers of Marijuana." Cannabis Sativa is not a dangerous drug, as *Hemp for Victory" proves. "Marijuana" will not destroy America, as the war on drugs claims.
      "Marihuana" enabled the D-Day invasion to stop the Holocaust.
      Your government and media are lying to you.

      In Pennsylvania there are people who have a hard time paying fines for restitution, parking fines, traffic violations, etc. so if they are behind in payments they are sent to county prison. So they stay there until a relative or friends help them out OR they stay in county and their fines are reduced by $5 or $10 per day until it is paid in full.

Then they grew, but where they put the prisons is telling. It was always rural areas so they could pay minimum wage to the employees. I worked for CCA for a year and it culminated in a meeting we had with a CCA suit who brought charts and graphs and goals and needs, and not a single word about inmate and/or officer security. Not a word. It was all about CCA making money. They then hired mobs of lobbying rats and the money started being tossed around till they had made sure pot wouldn't be legal ensuring they would get anywhere from $50 to $100 and up, per day, per inmate. That is the source of our bullshit. Private prisons.

    • @chamberlain85

      I feel you missed the point or dont understand bail. To let someone out on bail means they are free to be released because the court deems them not a threat but they do still have a court date to determine the severity of the charges against them and maybe sentenced with jail or fines still. Bail is not the judge weighing in on the crimes. I cant believe 9 people watched this video and still dont understand bail. To miss your court date will add to any charges you have. Nothing is dismissed at someones bailing, but that they havent been charged with a crime yet in the court. Some people cant afford bail which I went to jail once in Oklahoma for marijuana possessions (nonviolent and 1st offense) and my bail was 10k and I had to pay a bondsman 1k to be released. I couldn't imagine it ever being no where near $500 like you mentioned.
