County Will Use Taxpayer Money To Bail Inmates Out Of Jail

King County taxpayers will foot the bill to bail low-income inmates out of jail.

King County, WA – King County plans to use $400,000 in taxpayer dollars to help low-income inmates get out of jail.

The money would help secure funding for the pretrial bail reform plan from June 1 until December 31 of 2020, KIRO reported.

Other than being low-income, it was unclear what criteria might be required in determining which offenders will receive the get-out-of-jail-free funds.

The King County Department of Community Health Services (DCHS) released a Request for Proposals for Pretrial Bail for Indigent Individuals on Thursday.

The DCHS announced that it is “pleased” to release the request for proposal, which it touted as being evidence of the county’s drive to “advance its commitment to equity, social justice and [to] support the public well-being.”

“King County will be appropriating funds to an organization that remits payment of pretrial bail, with a specific emphasis on indigent individuals,” the release read. “Successful applicants will provide bail for indigent individuals who would otherwise spend their pretrial time in jail, causing undue burden and costs for King County and the individuals.”

Make those people bailed out fix potholes. Well, im assuming that county doesn't have any potholes or other issues since they can waste money on criminals.

Great, spend taxpayer money on those that don't deserve it.

When I saw this I immediately thought CA, but WA makes sense as well. Idiots.

For some reason, the county can't figure out that it would be significantly more efficient to just not prescribe bail for these people in the first place?

Annoying Oral Claptrap insists that the County paying itself will save money, because ... well, "just pay for it."

Evidently we aren't racists.

Well yes, but then they couldn't get to the polls to vote straight Democrat, so it's worth the "investment".
