CA$H Bail

Equal justice under the law means just what it says. It should apply to everyone, not just folks who have a savings account or money for a rainy day.

Cash Bail is money that you pay as a deposit for the release of a person who has been arrested (also known as a defendant).

The Department of Finance holds the money to help guarantee that the defendant will return to court for their trial.

The Cash Bail is held in a bank account until the court closes the case and issues a court order to refund the Cash Bail to the person who paid it.

Yesterday’s Newspaper

Images

Your relevance is like yesterday’s news
Nobody wants to read about it
Sensational at first
At noon you are old news
By evening it is totally irrelevant

Once the lead that reached the front page
Your words were once quoted
Now, nobody wants to read it
The comment that was born in the early morning fades
Your words are the news from yesterday

Nobody else tries to read them
Sensational when it came out at dawn
At noon and confirmed news
And in the afternoon forgotten matter
Your relevance is a newspaper from yesterday
