In MA and I assume elsewhere, the courts are willing to stall or deny setting bail on men accused of simple DV with the use of “dangerousness hearings” – this means that good ole’ dad could be spending some time in county jail with felons – on allegation alone without factual evidence or a trial. These hearings were created for heinous crimes, but now they can be applied to simple DV matters…
This automatic short term incarceration is becoming commonplace. What this creates is pre-judicial tyranny. I can honestly say that after being locked up for a week does weaken ones resolve to fight the bullsh*t. Looking back now and knowing how my rights were abused, I still know I could not have put up an effective fight under those circumstances, I was in shock at how the system dismantled me. This is afterall by design, feminist design. The truth or evidence is not important, having a Y chromosone is the determining factor.
The US now has an incarceration rate higher than any other industrialized nation in the world.
