Sheriff Tom Dart wants more restrictions for people on electronic monitoring – WBEZ (Chicago)

Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart is continuing his calls to repeal part of the SAFE-T Act that gives people on electronic monitoring the ability to leave their houses two days a week so they can work, attend classes and purchase groceries. Dart said the bail provisions in the SAFE-T Act were unlikely to have a huge effect on the jail’s population because Cook County has already made big changes to bail practices that have allowed a large number of people to leave the jail without paying cash.
