It would be providing clear direction and guidance for exactly how we want decision-makers to make that decision. Where do we draw these lines? I don't think it's easy—about where these lines are precisely drawn. I have a lot of hesitation about arguing for wanting to hold more people in pretrial or releasing people with more conditions. That in itself is problematic, but if we have to think about, again, where we draw the lines as to how we identify and focus on those who are, indeed, most serious, I don't think there's an easier, clearer way to identify who those people are.
