Standing on street corners with a whistle after dark in -15 degrees. Driving from morning to late at night in endless loops, learning to instinctively recognize the license plates of all your neighbors and know when something is amiss. Standing at the door of targeted businesses every shift change.

If you are a woman with a 5 year old child, and you earn close to minimum wage, and you are falsely accused of a crime? You probably can't afford bail.
If you sit in jail pre-trial for a year to prove your innocence, you can lose custody of your child.
Many women prefer to plead guilty instead.

Prosecutors know this, and use it to get innocent women to plead guilty rather than fight it in court.
The conviction rate is higher in places with cash bail, because more innocent people plead guilty, so that their children won't be traumatized and abused by being thrown into state custody.
