We have for you the final installment of Jerry Watson’s 4-part blog series on the failures of the Pretrial Justice Institute. PJI’s third swing and a miss is their attempt to sell local officials on a superior flight risk analysis “tool” which enables them to assess risks, therefore making commercial bail unnecessary. Strike three, you’re out!
This is the final installment in the “Three Strikes, You’re Out!” series of articles about the Pretrial Justice Institute (PJI).
Just to recap: PJI is an organization funded with our federal tax dollars, and its mission is the eradication of commercial bail bonds from all State and County criminal justice systems.
The series is based upon this proposition: if they cannot justify their mission by showing that commercial bail should in fact be eliminated, then they should not continue receiving federal funding.
We went on to say that the “three strikes rule” should apply: if they try three times to justify their mission and they fail every time then it should be “game over” for them.
