Justice was never meant to be a revolving door. In New York, it has become one by design. Accountability has been stripped from the system and replaced with slogans that promise compassion while delivering danger. Peter Vazquez confronts that reality head-on alongside Ken W.

Justice was never meant to be a revolving door. In New York, it has become one by design. Accountability has been stripped from the system and replaced with slogans that promise compassion while delivering danger. Peter Vazquez confronts that reality head-on alongside Ken W. Good, attorney and national bail-policy expert, whose work exposes what these policies do once theory meets the street.
This is a reckoning with bail reform, repeat-release justice, and a system that treats risk as irrelevant. Judges are forbidden from weighing dangerousness. Chronic offenders are recycled until communities learn their names by memory. Victims are erased from the narrative while officials insist the numbers say everything is fine.
The conversation cuts through the mythology of “simple release,” algorithmic justice, and activist pseudoscience. When consequences vanish, youth crime accelerates. Gangs recruit with confidence. Court backlogs swell, cases collapse, and lawlessness learns it will be tolerated. This is not reform. It is abandonment.
The warning is unmistakable. When government refuses to enforce order, disorder fills the vacuum. History does not argue this point. It records it.
