Why Isn’t John Atkins In Jail?

After allegedly strangling a woman earlier this month, Atkins was arrested again this week for harassing the same victim and for breaching the conditions of his release:

His punishment?:

He’s free on his own recognizance.

This man is a serial abuser of women.  He is not wired right. While many people accused of non-violent offenses languish in jail due to their inability to afford bail,  this demonstrated threat to society is permitted to roam free? To continue his dangerous course? In the interest of justice and, most especially, the safety of his victims past, present and future, he needs to be locked up. Now. Before a tragedy inevitably occurs.
