Sick, Struggling, and Still in Custody: Should Health Influence Bail? | TCF Sidebar #31

Episode 31

We see it all the time - defense attorneys asking for PR or reduced bonds so defendants can manage medical issues or care for sick family members. But where’s the line between compassion and consequence?

In this Sidebar discussion, we look at how health conditions influence bail and bond decisions. Should a defendant’s medical needs change how the court treats them, or does that open the door for special treatment? When does mercy serve justice, and when does it undermine it?
