Comment Re:Simple soloution (Score 1) 50

These are mostly pretrial detainees accused of a crime, awaiting trial.

Though, I'll be honest, at least 95% of us pretrial detainees are guilty of some crime, though often something less serious than what they have been charged with.

The reality is, though, that most people are in jail for some issue related to mental illness. I'm not saying they didn't know what they were doing was a crime, but they ended up committing a crime because their mental health issues were untreated and they ended up in a situation where a crime tempted them past the point where most people would abort.

Comment I'm on Electronic Monitoring now, AMA (Score 3, Interesting) 50

I just spent 8 years in a county jail awaiting trial for a probational felony - probably a world record - simply because I was too poor to pay the bail amount. My family recently scraped together enough so I could bond out, but only on monitoring.

My monitoring restrictions are so severe that when I arrived to my home the sheriff's officers told me I could never leave my bedroom for any reason.

That makes it impossible to get non-online employment, buy groceries, go to the laundromat, go to the drug store in an emergency, go to the vet, walk my dog, get exercise, etc.

If it wasn't for the fact I have Internet it would be more restrictive than jail. And when the prosecutor found out I had Internet access they went nuts and tried to take it away, but I'd just been bitching to the judge that I couldn't buy groceries and he'd told me to order whatever I need from Amazon, so he couldn't take away my Internet as it would mean he would have to let me out of my bedroom.

Also, it's really hard to order from Amazon when you have no ID and can't get a credit or debit card.

p.s. getting back on the Internet after 8 years, only two of my accounts were accessible, Wikipedia and eSnipe. I was locked out of all the others (including my very ancient Slashdot account) since security had changed so much in the time I was gone. I've been on the 'Net since '94, so it was strange to be away for so long, especially being a web developer, as I used to spend about 12 hours a day online.
