Lessons from New York’s Bail Battle

Extremely important issue.  Many thousands of people for many months if not years - including those charged with misdemeanors - are in jail because they cannot pay bail.  Reform is crucial.

From The Marshall Project: The sweeping bail reforms state lawmakers passed in 2019—abolishing money bail in many cases—were promptly undermined by conservative media outlets, law enforcement lobbyists and wobbly politicians who seized on disputed crime figures to argue the changes went too far. Now some of those changes have been rolled back, prompted by bad poll numbers and the political calculations that go with them. Bail reformers in other states are paying attention. They are trying to get more buy-in on the front end by police and prosecutors.
