EP-063 Bail Reform Within the Complexity of Criminal Justice Guest: Ken Good – https://pbtx.com/

I try to avoid the ping pong battle of the right and the left in culture war semantics, and the never ending click bait cries of hypocrisy from both sides. But there was an issue that caught my eye last summer that goes beyond the click bait ping pong match. There was something off during the BLM protests and riots. Something askew in the never ending Antifa pressure campaigns and LARPing battles with police. It was almost as if rioters who broke the law, even in violent ways, were being processed through the court system like a revolving door.

Briefly Bail Bond funds became a left wing darling of social justice activists. And a light was shed on local district attorneys who refused to prosecute criminal cases, often in defiance of local bureaucrats and citizens. This wasn’t culture war nonsense. There was something mechanical broken in our justice system. And the answer wasn’t a winner take all right versus left paradigm.

I found a expert within this particular part of the justice system mechanism to help us understand just what is going on, how we got here, and where this apparent movement is going.

Ken Good, an attorney in Texas who has extensive experience in the bail bond industry working with insurance underwriters and bondsmen. He wrote a reference guide for the bonding industry in Texas, and is on the board of the Professional Bondsmen of Texas. Now those credentials may seem like Ken has a biased, insider’s perspective of these issues, but I’ve read articles where Ken acknowledges baised deficiencies in the industry; and he takes a nuanced approach to analysing and solving the problem.

That is what we need to look at “systemic injustice” in the American incarceration factory we call a justice system. It’s not black or white, or right or left. There is nuance or analysis and understanding required to solve any large issue.
