Quote of the Day | Jan. 27, 2020

“The cash bail system in this country has created nothing short of a human rights crisis. It is what holds the overwhelming majority of people in jail regardless of guilt or innocence, and it is the oil that keeps the machine of assembly line justice running and churning out millions of people every year with criminal records that sink them deeper into poverty.”

-Robin Steinberg, co-founder and executive director of the Bail Project and Still She Rises [The Oklahoman]
