Description

Earlier this week the Illinois Supreme Court ruled 5-2 to uphold the state’s elimination of cash bail, making Illinois the first state to officially end the practice. The law will go into effect September 18. Host Jacoby Cochran, Politico Playbook Reporter Shia Kapos and Tribune Music Critic Britt Julious recap the long road to abolish cash bail and what this means for individuals facing pretrial detention. We also talk Chicago’s American Legion social hubs, recap this week’s City Council meeting, and celebrate a music-packed weekend including Pitchfork & Beyoncé!
