Justice For Sale
summary
The talk lays out concrete claims and interventions: the U.S. imprisons 2.3 million people and about half a million are jailed pretrial because they cannot pay bail; text-reminder services like UpTrust cut failures-to-appear by over 50%; community tools like Dollar Bail Brigade report 96% return rates and Clear My Record (Code for America) automates convictions relief for thousands; risk tools like COMPAS and predictive policing reproduce biased arrest data; GPS ankle monitors cost defendants $5–$25/day and extend surveillance rather than rehabilitate.
