Funded by Mark Zuckerberg, this data portal will show 32 different metrics to measure how equitable a county's justice system may be. Should be interesting to see how Bay Area counties measure up! The portal will show how many people plead guilty without a lawyer present, how many nonviolent misdemeanor offenders were sentenced to jail time, and how many people are in jail because they failed to pay less than $500.
