The state is rethinking cash bail, sparking heated debate over fairness and public safety. Critics argue the current system locks up low-income people simply because they can’t pay, while wealthier suspects walk free—even if they’re equally dangerous.

Now, new proposals aim to use risk assessment tools to decide who gets released—but these algorithms raise alarms about bias and accuracy. Officials are torn: how do you balance justice with safety without letting money dictate freedom?
