New York isn't the only place bail policies have been loosened. Since 2012, at least 19 states have moved to reduce the use of financial conditions for a person's release.
There’s a reason for this statistic. They loosen these bail policies because of all these people that have been thrown into jail. It’s unfair for the people that are in jail for the convictions that they received with laws that are not loosened. Then these states realized how many people were convicted so they had to choice but to loosen the laws.
