    The Chaos No-Cash Bail Creates... Is the Point? | Ken Good

    In this episode, we sit down with Ken Good, an attorney who works closely with the bail industry, to break down how bail really works and why the type of release matters. Ken explains the difference between cash bonds, private surety bonds, and simple release, and how missed court dates can create backlogs, dismissed cases, and more pressure on the entire justice system. The conversation also looks at the wider effects of no-cash bail, reduced penalties, weak enforcement, and the refusal to expand court and jail capacity. Ken argues that when accountability disappears, the damage does not stop with one case. It reaches victims, businesses, police, courts, and whole communities.
