Of all the reasons people get sent to jail, forgetting an appointment has to be among the least justifiable. Yet, each year, 1 million jail bookings involve people facing failure to appear (FTA) charges. Shuffling people into the system for missing court does not keep us safe🧵

Pie chart showing that over 1 million jail bookings per year involve missed court dates. 488,000 are FTA with other charges. 546,000 are FTA charges only.

I really like how Zohran Mamdani has run a campaign that is so focused on making New York City a safe (including from the fascism of our current federal government) and affordable place for all its residents, and I am really appalled by how racist so much of the opposition to his candidacy has been.

With talk of ICE doing"collateral arrests," I've been thinking of how this is also true for broader criminal justice. When a person is in jail/prison, on electronic monitoring/parole, family/friends/neighbors can also end up in more contact with police, increasing chances of surveillance & arrest.
