Opinion: Bail Reform Is Not The Problem By Christine Steele - NewsBreak

During the past several Alamogordo City Commission meetings, Mayor Susan Payne has repeated that bail reform was the worst thing to ever happen to this state. As someone who has been a journalist for 16 years in six different states and covered crime in three of them: New Mexico, Ohio, and Arizona, I can tell you: Bail reform is not the problem. New Mexico is the problem.

#IMO Cancel Culture is a different card in the same hand that makes it impossible for felons to find gainful #employment and return to #crime

Maybe not everyone, but cutting people off to resources and the better #community for bad behaviors just makes them turn to the people who agree with their bad actions - which doesn’t help anyone.

We do not have to fail the same way #prison fails to rehabilitate and reintegrate. We can teach and encourage others to become better and make our community better.
