      And many states let private companies charge accused people up to $40 a day for the ankle bracelets.

          Uhh…nope.

          Also…about 25% of the people incarcerated in America aren’t even convicted of a crime yet.

          Even if they’re found innocent, it’s likely already cost them their job or made it so they are so far behind on bills from not working that it becomes next to impossible to climb out from under
