@pweiser Can you share your perspective on bail? It appears that the current approaches, including low cash bonds, 10 percent cash options, and PR bonds for felonies, may not be yielding the desired outcomes. Many feel that safety in Colorado is a concern.
Attention Colorado residents: It’s time for us to come together and champion change. We need to actively engage our state legislators and insist that they evaluate our current bail laws. These laws impact our communities and our justice system, and it’s crucial that they reflect our values and needs. Demand no more PR and low cash bonds for felonies!

@JenaGriswold Mrs Griswold what are your thoughts on bail practices? It seems that low cash bonds, 10 percent cash options, and PR bonds for felonies might not be effectively addressing safety concerns in Colorado.

@dnvr_is_burning I bet. People need to demand that our state legislators change laws and make it mandatory for judges to hold criminals accountable. We have given judges too much discretion.
I guess it doesn’t matter if the person has already failed to appear multiple times.
Douglas County Judge Mark Solomon gives out PR bonds like candy 🍭
Driving with excessive alcohol content gets you a whopping $100 bond. 🍺
Don’t worry about the people the defendant put at risk.
@Stonewallen@mtnbiker303 Even the most liberal DAs often argue for larger bonds. The problem in Colorado is we give full discretion to the judges. They go against DAs recommendations and act like kings.
We need to return to bail schedule and take away judges tailor rulings.
