How many crimes does cash bail generate?

No tears from me for the end of cash bail this Sunday.

Avoiding jail awaiting trial should not depend on how much money you have to bail out. A bad guy with enough bread is out on the streets, possibly committing more crime. Meanwhile, some poor innocent can have his/her life ruined in the clink simply for lack of cash.

That begs the question. How many arrestees without sufficient cash have crimes committed on their behalf to pony up bail? Under the no bail system the incentive to commit those crimes goes away.

Haven’t heard this as another sensible reason to eliminate bail…but it should be factored into the ongoing discussion of the new no bail reform.
