The SAFE-T Act, which was signed into law by Gov. J.B. Pritzker will end cash bond beginning in January.

Illinois will become the first in the nation to abolish the system. 

Under the new law, defendants will stay in custody if a court rules they "pose a specific, real and present threat to a person or have a high likelihood of willful flight" before trial.
