If you are interested in helping fix this problem, I would highly recommend looking into local initiatives to eliminate cash bail; they can significantly reduce the pre-trial prison population. https://www.arnoldventures.org/stories/new-jersey-set-out-to-reform-its-cash-bail-system-now-the-results-are-in/ https://www.arnoldventures.org/stories/new-jersey-set-out-to... indicates that these cash bail elimination policies significantly reduce the number of people in jail pre-trial. If you are in California, we have a unique opportunity to eliminate cash bail this year by voting yes on Prop 25. I would highly recommend voting yes on Prop 25. Note that you can register to vote all the way up till November 3rd (we have same day registration here in California so you can register while voting).
