The median bail is now $10,000, far out of reach for nearly half of Americans. Pretrial detention has become the main driver of jail growth, disproportionately impacting low-income communities and people of color. Alternatives show that most people return to court even without financial pressure, exposing the system's flaws and its costly human toll.
