Naive do-gooders, who do not care about the non profits losing the bond money, because they never learn about it. Non profits don’t care either, as they get their cut anyway, and get good feelings too.
The non profits actually argue that they should get the bond money back even when the assailants skip bond, and they actually often do. So it’s like they suffer no consequences (the non profit or the assailants).
This means nearly half of these people getting thrown in jail and/or having to post bond will never get convicted of the "high risk bond" crime they're accused of doing.
A lot of that is just bargaining down to a misdemeanor or prosecutors not wanting to fill up jails and prisons too much. Going with the revolving door in king county, our prosecutors simply don’t want to put people in jail anymore, even for major property crimes, unless violence is involved.
> or prosecutors not wanting to fill up jails and prisons too much
this is laughably not the case, and as of March they were looking at continuing to put more people in jail to the extent of shipping them out to other jails in the region to make room:
The only real reason prosecutors would choose to not prosecute is because they know they don't have the resources to get convictions (or because of outside political pressure)
