Land of Lincoln...the prairie state...corn, soybeans, and pumpkins. Chicago-inclusive, but there's a lot more to Illinois than just the Windy City.

maybe they were unable to afford bail. trusting judges to use good judgement. maybe they overbuilt the prison system and neglected healthcare and jobs

Yeah, cash bail system sucks. If they are dangerous, keep them in, if not, find some other way to make them show up to court.
