The judge set a money there. If you compose the money belt you get out of custody. Because if that risk that you post suddenly evaporates simply because you posted money belt, and so for that reason, increasingly theres an interest in moving away from that. Our district atty. Shares our interest in coming up with risk factors that would be more equitable and more appropriate to consider at the time. Deciding whether or not someone should remain in custody. Of course, one of the unfortunate things is that even in a city like San Francisco we are seeing a very disproportionate impact on certain communities of color. So, there are some very successful bail reform models that are occurring right now in other places. Washington dc has a very Aggressive Program that tries to release virtually everyone that gets arrested except for the very few individuals that pose a safety risk, and new york city has been exterminating now with some different programs.

We know that we can address the racial disparities, the dist. Atty. Is also committed to it. I dont think anybody, when this information is presented to them, is trying to defend it. I think we are just trying to find a way of creating a more equitable system and make sure that everybody gets due process. Here, with our new resources to really focus on bail, we are hoping that judges that make that immediate determination at arraignment, to set bail and keep somebody in custody, will have an opportunity with a written bail motion and some investigation behind it that can really give that judge an opportunity to know somebody better than perhaps build the confidence that they need to release somebody into the public that they will more likely reached that conclusion. We are estimating that with two attorneys, to paralegals, that were
