If you believe the funny math presented in those numbers, I have a bridge to sell you.

This: “A total of 1921 or 72% of the defendants supervised had no violations” should read did not get caught committing new violations.

The report doesn’t jive with reality. Just like Biden saying the economy is really great.

I would argue the biggest group committing crime is our local black communities. Almost every day, the Leon County Booking Report has three of four pages of black men and women that broke the law, and many are violations of parole, failure to appear or failure to comply with pre-trial conditions.

Once you are in the jail house, inmates can lay around and watch TV until the public defender’s office (fully funded by taxpayers) gets them released and launches their defense to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Inmate no longer can be forced to be on work crews. Instead the government hires workers to do clean up.

Then the liberal community runs cover for them. Face it, by third grade the future is set for too many black kids when they start to fall behind in school. Social programs have fostered out of wedlock births in the black community. The democrats have dealt the black community a dirty deal and got them to buy-in 100%. Democrats pee down your back and tell you it’s raining.

But that is just my observation.

Everyone arrested for any type of Crime should be Booked into the Jail and some given Bail depending on what they did and if they are repeat offenders. To help pay to run the Jail and to expand it, I think you should ad a Bail Fee to their Bail. For every $1,000 in Bail the JUDGE sets, a $100 Fee is added. Example: Bail is set at $10,000, the Fee is $1,000. You pay a Bail Bondsman $1,000 (10%) PLUS the $1,000 Fee for a Total of $2,000. Before anyone starts crying about how some can’t afford it, maybe those people should STOP DOING CRIMES. With everything going on in the US and soon in Florida, we are going to need a bigger Jail so, lets get a jump start on it.

So, you have a better chance of getting pre-trial release for the commission of a “dangerous crime” than a non-violent felony or a misdemeanor crime. The county saves money by exposing us to more dangerous crimes. There is no way you can make me believe the county saved 26 million dollars letting violent offenders roam the streets. That’s straight up bs.
