    Sep 26 2024

    Breaking the Bond: Why bail reform hasn't made Houston's jail safer
    Sep 25 2024
    We'd love to hear your thoughts on the podcast. Take the survey at wbur.org/survey. According to legal experts, the end of cash bail for nonviolent misdemeanor offenses made the justice system in the Houston area more fair. But it hasn't made the city's jail complex any safer.
