💨 Abstract

Two women incarcerated in Atlanta sued Georgia over a 2024 law that added cash bail requirements for more crimes, including some misdemeanors. The lawsuit alleges the law violates constitutional rights to due process, keeps jails full, and disproportionately impacts low-income and minority groups. The law requires cash bail for 30 additional crimes, including failing to appear for a traffic citation if it's not the first offense.
