The Turnstile Jail


A man released early from county jail under California's $0 bail order was rearrested Tuesday, officials said. The order took effect Monday.  Gaul was rearrested a sixth time on Tuesday at 7:27 a.m. in the 3900 block of West Lane. Officers tried getting him out of the vehicle when he wouldn't listen to orders.
An officer used a stun gun on Gaul before arresting him, the police department said.  Withrow explained that because of the zero bail order, Gaul will be able to walk out the door after he's booked.
"This is what we're going to be dealing with," Withrow said."We'll be waiting for him when he goes to steal another vehicle."

Episode No. 71- When Police Stop Policing with Guests Dr. Eric Piza and Dr. Nathan T. Connealy

Image
 In 2020, there were protests in Seattle, Washington following the death of George Floyd.  For a period of 24 days, an area that became known as the Capitol Hill Occupation Protest (CHOP) was treated as an autonomous zone where the police did not respond to calls.  As a result, the CHOP zone became an example of what happens when police stop policing.  Dr. Eric Piza and Dr. Nathan T. Connealy largely used data from the City of Seattle Open Data portal, analyzing data from more than one year prior to CHOP with two microsynth models to understand average and seasonal crime trends.  Dr. Piza and Dr. Connealy looked at the impact of crime in three areas:  (1) the CHOP zone; (2) the two block radius around the CHOP zone; and (3) the precinct at large. The results showed a significant increase in crime within the CHOP zone, the encompassing two-block area, and the overall East precinct service area during the occupation period.   The study suggests that call...

"The Cost of Bail Reform was My Daughter's Life"

Image
Less than a year ago, life was good.  I was the proud mother of  two beautiful daughters and grandma to the sweetest eight-month old girl  you'd ever seen.  We were planning a gender-reveal for the arrival of  Caitlynne's second baby when everything went wrong. My daughter's husband, Alex Guajardo, had been on a downward spiral.  In May 2019, he  was arrested for a second DWI and a hit-and-run.  He received what is called a personal recognizance or free PR bond and was released from  jail.  In July, he was arrested again on a charge of assault-family  violence for assaulting Caitlynne, who was then 17-weeks pregnant.  My daughter made a brave move and filed criminal charges against Alex for  beating her up. Immediately following Alex's arrest, I begged Caitlynne to stay with me so I could protect her and the babies.  She refused.  Caitlynne had convinced herself that the system would protect h...
