NJ Bail Reform Symposium with CJ@SPIA and STONO Public Affairs
Date: October 24th @ 9am - 2pm
Location Maeder Hall Auditorium
In recent years, there has been a growing recognition that the traditional monetary bail system for pretrial release is a fundamentally flawed way of determining who should and who should not be held in jail while their cases are pending in court. On one hand, defendants should not be in jail before trial merely because they are poor and unable to post even minimal amounts of bail, especially if charged with minor non-violent offenses. On the other hand, defendants with access to means should not be able to buy their way out of jail, especially if they are charged with violent offenses and pose a risk to public safety.
