Every day, low-income people lose their freedom because they can’t afford bail. Pretrial detention doesn’t keep us safe, but it does cause people to lose housing, employment, and community. It also puts people at risk for financial exploitation, abuse, and death while detained. — PolitiTweet.org

Larry Price Jr. couldn’t afford $100 in bail, so he was held in the Sebastian County jail to await his trial. He starved to death in his cell, in solitary confinement, one year later. https://t.co/6MYJKj09G3 — PolitiTweet.org

The suffering that Mr. Price endured in jail — all because he couldn’t afford $100 — is unconscionable. It's emblematic of the daily violence pretrial detention inflicts on people, simply because they can’t pay for their freedom. No amount of bail is worth a person's life. — PolitiTweet.org
