" The systemic, imbalanced incarceration of people based on poverty—people who have been convicted of no crime—is on its own an egregiously unjust punishment to suffer. But the personal costs of pretrial detention reach far beyond the endurance of incarceration itself. Jobs are lost as people languish in jail. As a result, rent goes unpaid, eviction notices are issued, and personal belongings are seized. People who cannot make bail have already proved themselves to be living without any kind of financial safety net. The cumulative implications of these additional losses, then, can be insurmountable.
