“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.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Madison County Illinois is home to some very “vote for blue no matter who” Democrats…they will be reaping what they have sowed.
