Explain the benefit of bail to an offender
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: If an offender is granted bail, this allows him to maintain employment, education and family life that would be diminished or possibly destroyed by being detained in jail. In addition, the hope of bail is for the inmate to maintain societal norms rather than being exposed to a criminal lifestyle in jail.
