Download or read book Punishing Poverty written by Christine S. Scott-Hayward and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people in jail have not been convicted of a crime. Instead, they have been accused of a crime and cannot afford to post the bail amount to guarantee their freedom until trial. Punishing Poverty examines how the current system of pretrial release detains hundreds of thousands of defendants awaiting trial. Tracing the historical antecedents of the US bail system, with particular attention to the failures of bail reform efforts in the mid to late twentieth century, the authors describe the painful social and economic impact of contemporary bail decisions. The first book-length treatment to analyze how bail reproduces racial and economic inequality throughout the criminal justice system, Punishing Poverty explores reform efforts, as jurisdictions begin to move away from money bail systems, and the attempts of the bail bond industry to push back against such reforms. This accessibly written book gives a succinct overview of the role of pretrial detention in fueling mass incarceration and is essential reading for researchers and reformers alike.

This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on BAIL OR JAIL setting forth a flash-light of critical thinking for every Magistrate, Judge and Lawyer who should be fully equipped with knowledge of Bail Proceedings and its relevant Stages since, Ignorance of above circumstances can cause Miscarriage of Justice. It is not the purpose of the Criminal Law to confine a person accused of an alleged offence before his conviction instead off it is intended to combine the administration of justice with the liberty and convenience of the person accused. To free on conditions of Bail rather to confine in Jail is a jurisprudential jurisdiction which has been evolved in view of the fact that Administration of Justice on the spot or immediately just after the commission of the alleged offence in accordance with the rudimentary principles of an advanced Legal System in not feasible. The question, whether the alleged accused should be kept in prison or should be kept free till pending of trial, therefore, through such Application of Bail before the Court calls for assistance of Magistrates and Judges for consideration on merit in view of impending and prevailing circumstances protecting the Fundamental and Constitutional Rights of the individual accused of and uphold belief and peace in the Society where Courts also act as ultimate Guardian of their Fundamental and Constitutional Rights. It is an inability of existing judicial machinery to try accused expeditiously. “Therefore, accused cannot be detained in Judicial Custody for a long time by refusal to grant Bail” Bail is Rule of Law not the Jail. Bail is allowed to prevent the punishment of innocent persons, and to enable an accused person to prepare his defence to the charge against him. “The principle underlying release on Bail is that an accused person is presumed in law to be innocent till his guilt is proved and such presumably innocent person, he is entitled to freedom and every opportunity to look after his case, provided his attendance is secured by proper security.”
