CW: #ONpoli cash bail?
"Ontario’s cash bail system won’t make communities safer.
Deterrence cannot be bought. This approach assumes that bail non-compliance is primarily a rational calculation. However, people may breach conditions because of unstable housing, addiction, mental health challenges or release conditions that are difficult to understand or realistically meet.
… making the penalty more severe does not solve the problem."
