With so many protestors who were arrested and put in jail yesterday it’s important to understand how broken our entire jail system is.

3 out of 5 ppl in jail haven’t been convicted of a crime & are simply too poor to post bail for release while their case is being processed.

75% of pretrial detainees are jailed for nonviolent offenses. Traffic stops, property offenses, & other examples of broken windows policing.
