“There is no such thing as a 'non-detainable' offense. Any alleged offender could be detained because of a risk of flight or because they are a repeat offender and those charged with the most serious crimes – which are non-probationable – can also be detained for risk to public safety,” said [Governor] Pritzker’s spokesperson Jordan Abudayyeh. If an accused person is actually a threat, they can be put in jail. The change is that a person can't be put in jail and kept there only because they can't come up with the cash for bail.
