Calling the current system unfair, the state's chief judge announced earlier this month he was ordering the judiciary to take administrative steps to change how bail is set, including a review of bail conditions in recent cases and encouraging judges to use other types of bonds besides cash. [...] earlier this year, city officials said cash bail would be replaced for about 3,000 low-risk defendants with other supervised options, including text-message reminders and regular check-ins. Officials have already discovered some bureaucratic workarounds that could streamline the number of people held behind bars while pulling together enough money to post bail. Besides shortening the credit card bail form and coordinating the jail bus schedule, officials say modernizing the archaic process by which inmates can access money in their commissary account toward bail is essential.
