New law called ‘greatest jailbreak’ – Alton Telegraph

“The greatest jailbreak in Madison County history will occur on Jan. 1, 2023,” Madison County State’s Attorney Thomas A. Haine said in a released statement. “On that date, approximately half of our present jail population must be released under the terms of the new SAFE-T Act, and cash bail will be eliminated throughout Illinois.” Haine called the new law a massive “unfunded mandate” requiring Madison County to spend more money on the criminal justice system while fundamentally weakening it.
