So it sounds like this is an alternative for defendants who cannot make bail? I see it as the judge will set bail of $0 but require the defendant to enroll with Promise and follow through on the plan set forth by your company or risk the chance of a real bail declaration.
It seems like an interesting idea but I'm hesitant to support this. As we've seen this week we need to be more critical as to what companies are doing with our data. Unfortunately a disproportionate amount of black and Latino individuals are processed through the criminal Justice system. As a black man I really don't feel comfortable with supporting a company that will data mine people are are systematically processed through the CJ system.
