Recent LCSO poll module was "Some in government want to eliminate most or all pre-trial detainees from being in county jails.  Meaning only extremely violent people may be held in custody prior to their trial.  What are your thoughts?"  Of those who took part the results show 47.5% prefer the Judges decide on each case, 31.3% answered they do not agree with this view, 19.2% believe only very violent people should be held, while the remaining 2% answered no one should be incarcerated.  Thank you to those who shared their opinion!
