Use DA’s discretion to seek, for nonviolent offenses, community-based alternatives to expensive, sometimes counterproductive long term prison sentences. • BAIL REFORM—people not convicted of a crime should not languish in jail for no reason other than that they can’t afford cash bail. Use discretion to provide alternatives to pretrial detention for people not convicted of any crime. Where appropriate, avoid cash bail. Where bail is appropriate, ensure that the bail is affordable and particularized to the individual defendant’s financial circumstances. Where the defendant is either a flight risk or a danger to the community, deny bail outright. • JUVENILE JUSTICE—reduce transfer to adult court for young children and those accused of nonviolent crimes. Restore federal Department of Justice monitoring of Juvenile Court to correct racially disproportionate charging, detention, and sentencing. MEMPHIS VOTER GUIDE • 2022 47
