flag Ontario to require cash deposits upfront for bail, aiming to boost compliance and safety.

flag Ontario is introducing legislation requiring criminal defendants to pay a cash deposit upfront to secure bail, a shift from the current system where payments are only due if conditions are breached. flag The change, part of a broader justice reform, aims to improve court compliance and public safety, particularly for serious or repeat offenses. flag The government also plans to expand digital monitoring and strengthen bail prosecution teams. flag While police leaders support the move amid rising youth gun crime, critics warn it could disproportionately affect low-income individuals and worsen jail overcrowding. flag The bill is expected to be formally introduced soon.
