Brennan Center for Justice’s Post

From the R Street Institute's Lisel Petis: States will learn that outdated bail systems are a disaster. Blue states are first. "Contrary to alarmist claims, most states and cities that have implemented bail reform are experiencing decreased crime rates. New Jersey beat the U.S. trend in violent crime reduction four years in a row after enacting bail reform, with property crimes showing similar success. In fact, crime fell in most cities in 2023, including those that have enacted bail reform." https://lnkd.in/gRDuJnDz

Our new Brennan Center for Justice report on bail reform highlights the need for data-driven policy decisions to prevent rollbacks driven by misconceptions. We should work towards a system where wealth does not determine freedom. Read more here: https://t.co/Q4IwbQb3j0

At the end of the day leave the decision up to the Judges and Prosecutors. With that being said there is no better means of release than professional #bail NO ONE loses when professional bail. WHY?? 1. The client (accused) gets professional service that can help them navigate the judicial process. Reliable industry that can take calls 24/7. 2. The Courts have guaranteed service that if the accused fails to appear they have a proven service that will look, locate and return. If they fail accountability kicks in and the bail company must pay. 3. The alleged victim can have trust that there will be completion of courts in over 91% of professional bail used cases. 4. Local jail can continue to have bed space and serve the tax paying citizens of their jurisdictions. 5. Last but not least professional bail bondsman live and work in the communities that they post bail in. This means, we look at threat to self or community. Any bondsman that does not is not actually a bail bondsman, they are bond writers and over the years we have made it harder and harder for them to stay in the business.

Is There Bail in San Diego? Technically California is a zero bail state. This means they have declared that it's unconstitutional for people to be held in prison before their arrangement just because they do not have access to enough money to get them out. However, in practice, there are many places where California's zero bail law is not being strictly followed. Indeed, San Diego, California is one of these places, as they have gone back to the traditional bail system after instituting a zero bail system during the pandemic. https://lnkd.in/dCKzEAk9

Before we get started, we should define a few terms and dispel a few myths. Let us begin. What is Bail? When an offence is committed, the person implicated is expected to stand trial. However, sometimes the court allows such a person to pay a certain amount of money as they wait for their trial.

"Ultimately this report finds no statistically significant relationship between bail reform and crime rates. In other words, there is no reason to believe that bail reform has led to increased crime. This holds true even when focusing on major policy changes that have drawn public scrutiny, like those in New York and New Jersey. These findings add to a growing body of literature showing that bail reform is an unlikely explanation for recent trends in crime, whether increases or decreases. And they suggest that policymakers’ recent focus on weakening bail reforms as a response to crime has been misguided — and a distraction from smarter and more promising ways to enhance public safety."
