This is where the Republican party lives, trying to make their members terrified of constructive social reforms. The Purge? LOL. Judges have the ability to deny release pending trial to anyone they deem to be a threat to society. Meanwhile, in a society where being wealthy is the only way of not rotting in a cell until a hearing designed to prove guilt or innocence, how else do we show innocent until proven guilty? It's outstanding that another leg of the oligarchical power structure was knocked away in Illinois.
