New Jersey have gone nearly 5 years without cash bail and doing just fine. There no evidence that crime is worse in new jersey vs other states since January 1 2017 when they eliminated cash bail and shift in crime rates for new jersey follows trends we see in every other state who still have cash bail.

There system not perfect but I could not find any evidence that it worse then the old system.
