“Liberty is precious to Americans, and any deprivation must be scrutinized.” When Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Nathan Hecht uttered those words during a 2017 joint meeting of the state House and Senate, he was illustrating a two-pronged problem with the state’s bail system: we jail too many people simply because they can’t afford their freedom, and we don’t keep enough people in jail who threaten our safety.
