There�s controversy ahead over new criminal justice reforms.
Cash bail will be eliminated Jan. 1 for hundreds of offenses, and as many as 900 defendants could be let out earlier and given rewards to get them to show up to court, CBS2�s Lisa Rozner reported Monday.
State judges will no longer require cash bail for most misdemeanors and non-violent felonies like selling drugs or burglarizing a home, and the state says nearly 900 city residents in jail now will be released starting mid-December.
A law enforcement source told CBS2 a city program will offer those released incentives meant to encourage them to show up in court such as Mets baseball tickets, a subway pass or a Dunkin� Donuts gift card.
A spokesperson for Gov. Andrew Cuomo told CBS2 he expects the reforms to be implemented appropriately, however the governor�s office doesn�t have any involvement with the city�s rewards program.

Wow. Best Mayor Ever!!
So smart. How come no one ever thought of doing this before? Amazing.
As we “progress”, there appears to be a group of people who are using S’dom as a blueprint, instead of a model of an evil society.
Baah, that’s nothing. Within the next 5 years , criminals will get elected to office in NYC , and the usual askonim will escort them to the Jewish” leaders” all bedecked with blue kippas surrounded by fawning , gaping leidigeirs and company. Oh, you folks escaping to NJ are next… All this is’a’comin to you too along with Dem imposed choking taxes… Hashem is sending a message.

This is dumber than dumb. Here’s two ways of getting a donut at DD. 1)you can work and earn some money and use your earnings to buy a donut. 2) commit a crime and the government will give you a gift card.
