No. I'd really like to see them released on minimal bail or on their own recognizance.
Well that obviously isn't going to happen. In the meantime you have a bunch of people who have no business being in jail but jail is where they are. PC is just solitary confinement by another name but it's still probably their safest alternative. It's everything bad the article described but it's still better than rape or violent assault until your magic wand to release them gets waved.
