New York’s Upcoming Bail Reform Changes Explained
The state’s new bail reform law should significantly reduce pretrial incarceration levels
"Unlike almost all other states, judges in New York are not permitted to detain people due to concerns that they will pose a danger to the community if released"
"Only time will tell whether New York will see different results from those seen next door in New Jersey — including continued low crime rates and nearly unchanged rates of people returning to court. Should that prove true, New York will be well situated to make additional needed reforms to its bail and criminal justice systems."
Law went into effect Jan 1, 2020
Only time will tell = 30 days!
Bail reformers now discover the Law of Unintended Consequences
New York voters have turned against bail reform, new poll says
