Janice Dotson-Stephens

Say her name. Five months in jail on a $300 bond. Died in custody.

Exclamation Point

And to add an exclamation point to the idea that the third generation of bail reform has most definitely not "imploded," this week alone I learned that three new states are having summits and/or creating statewide groups to look at pretrial reform in the next several months. I'm invited to two, and I'm pretty sure I'll be participating in the the third because I've been out there several times already.

This thing is just now taking off.  Get used to being disappointed by the bail insurance companies and ABC.
