Very true. Bail is also not set statewide for many pretty serious crimes. Very different system than from what I recall. Queens was particularly tough on defendants. Petty drug possession cases were landing kids in jail for months while waiting for their next court appearance.
No bail is terrible. Beyond terrible. Everyone knows it’s a disaster The 1980s were tough on petty drug possession. Draconian
Pendulum has swung too far in the other direction
