It was the Friday before Labor Day weekend in 2021. I was appointed as public defender in Dallas to Spencer (not his real name), who’d been picked up on an existing warrant for failure to appear to a prior court date. Spencer was experiencing homelessness and lacked transportation, making it nearly impossible for him to get to court. But his no-cost, personal recognizance bond wouldn’t be reinstated now due to the previous failure to appear. It was poverty, not criminality, that would cause him to remain behind bars until his case was resolved. Illinois just became the first state to end cash bail. However, community reticence to ending the practice remains, despite supporting data.
