Midwest Bail

Join host Shane Rolf and his guest, Kim Ogg, the district attorney for Harris County, Texas.  They discuss the tremendous negative impact of bail reform efforts in the nation’s third-largest county.  We are offered a rare, insider’s look as District Attorney Ogg addresses the challenge of dealing with stakeholders less concerned about public safety than about playing politics.  Among the concerns she addresses is the weaponization of the issue of bail, much to the detriment of the criminal justice system in Texas and beyond.
