AMERICA incarcerates people awaiting trial at triple the world average. Every day, roughly 500,000 people who have been convicted of no crime sit in county jails.

Some are there because a judge determined they were too dangerous to return to the streets. But the vast majority end up behind bars because they could not afford to post “bail”, a returnable payment designed to ensure they’ll show up for their court dates. In practice, this means that wealthy people like Bill Cosby (who wrote a quick check for $1m yesterday after being charged with sexual assault) remain free before their trials while the poor are locked up.

Money buys all kinds of things, so it is not surprising that people who have been charged with crimes do better when they have more of it. There are rather stark inequalities introduced by most states’ money-bail system, as an episode of apparent racial bias in the criminal justice system suggests.

This is for the wailers calling Buhari names.

Some criminals are too dangerous to be released.

Every society has its peculiar challenges.

No democracy in the U.S. The Americans are dumb.

I guess you didn't see the part where it is written that "some are there because the judge decides that they are too dangerous". While the others are there because they cannot afford bail. In the case of Dasuki, and Kanu, the judge didn't see them as too dangerous to the society therefore granting them bail.
Or is Buhari now a judge ?

there the judge determines who should remain in prison, here the northern president determines.

no mind am, some people find it difficult to assimilate written words.

PMB is within his right to use Executive Order to keep.remanding Dasuki and the Lunatic Albino.

Which American court would have granted bail to Dasuki not to talk of the looters telling us he wants to go for medical check up?

Why was Madoff not granted bail?

The same America arrested terrorists without trial.and threw all in Guantanamo Bay and Kanu is a terrorist who has threatened to kill people. No sane govt can release such animal.

No matter the number of dubious court injunctions they can take,PMB has the Executive Order to counter it, especially o. The looting of our national treasury and in the case of national security threat.
