Crime doesn’t always wear a mask — sometimes it hides behind policy, politics, and good intentions.

In this episode of Lurking in the Fog, we step into the gray zone of bail reform with Ken W. Good, appellate attorney and leading voice in U.S. bail policy. What begins as a legal debate quickly turns into a brutal reality: repeat offenders released without accountability, victims left unprotected, and a system that quietly manufactures chaos.

From federal courtrooms to domestic violence cases that end in murder, this conversation exposes how “simple release” policies erode deterrence, inflate failure-to-appear rates, and transform reform into de facto decriminalization. We dissect the data, the politics, the money, and the narratives — and ask the question few are willing to confront: What happens when accountability disappears?

This is not theory.

This is not ideology.

This is the fog — where crime thrives, consequences vanish, and silence becomes deadly.
