Bail Me Out Here

Clark Co DA candidate Robert Langford says if elected, he'd end cash bail system on day 2, if not day 1. "Bail ends up being a hidden fine on poor people ... Studies ... tell us bail is a poor indicator of whether someone will return to court." (DA incumbent Wolfson not present)

We haven't found an article yet regarding it, but there was a panel on mass incarceration last night featuring DA candidate Robert Langford, PD Phil Kohn, Assemblyman Jason Frierson, and Boyd law professor Michael G. Kagan.  As you can see from the above tweet from The Nevada Independent's Michelle Rindels, Candidate Langford would like to do away with cash bail systems. What do you think? Good idea or bad idea?
