Summary
This email forwards information about a Second Circuit decision in United States v. Boustani, which addresses the issue of wealthy defendants using private security for home confinement while poorer defendants are detained. The decision states that the Bail Reform Act does not permit a two-tiered bail system based on wealth, with a narrow exception for cases where wealth is the primary flight risk factor.

Notable Quotes 2
We now expressly hold that the Bail Reform Act does not permit a two-tiered bail system in which defendants of lesser means are detained pending trial while wealthy defendants are released to self-funded private jails.
It is a fundamental principle of fairness that the law protects 'the interests of rich and poor criminals in equal scale, and its hand extends as far to each.'
