The Effects of on and Court Appearances

Research suggests that curtailing the use of monetary release conditions among low-risk defendants would not result in dramatic drops in court attendance or increased risk of reoffending.

The old "lock 'em up" for years & "tough on crime" paradigms don't work. We can be smarter than that. Criminal justice reform is effective and it makes us all safer.

Massachusetts could finally end the harmful practice of charging inmates for a phone call:

“Keeping those who are incarcerated connected to their families is one of the simplest ways to encourage rehabilitation and, therefore, enhance public safety.”

From @cjciaramella at @reasonmagazine

says the is a “jailbreak” and that he would repeal the bill if elected.

reason.com/2023/05/30/desantis

The legislation also empowered judges to review federal inmates' petitions for compassionate release, a policy that allows terminally ill inmates the mercy of spending their final days at home. This has become a crucial layer of oversight for inmates suffering from medical neglect and delays in treatment. For example, in 2019 a federal judge granted an incarcerated woman's petition for compassionate release after finding that she had suffered "grossly inadequate" delays in treatment for aggressive breast cancer in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons. The judge ruled, over the opposition of federal prosecutors and the BOP, that the woman's "invasive cancer and the abysmal health care Bureau of Prisons has provided qualify as 'extraordinary and compelling reasons' warranting a reduction in her sentence to time served." In addition, the FIRST STEP Act banned the shackling of pregnant inmates in federal prisons. The Bureau of Prisons amended its policies in 2008 to bar the practice except in cases of flight risks, but there was no federal law against it. The practice is banned in all but six states. When the House passed the FIRST STEP Act, Pamela Winn was watching from the gallery. Winn had suffered a miscarriage in federal prison after she fell while shackled by the ankles and wrists. These are the sort of provisions that would be reversed if the FIRST STEP Act was repealed.

: Reforming the criminal legal system leads to more crime

Reality:

prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie20
@PrisonPolicy

No evidence that progressive prosecutors were to blame for the increase in homicides during the pandemic or in the five years before it. Murder rates were an average of 40% higher in "red" states compared to "blue" states in 2020; more broadly, murder rates over the years 2000-2020 were 23% higher on average in "red" states. Releasing people pretrial doesn't harm public safety. Moreover, the increases in certain types of crime were seen in cities across the country, most of which have not enacted bail reforms. Far from being "defunded," police budgets have increased in the vast majority of cities and counties. And again, cities that increased funding, enacted no bail reforms, and did not elect "progressive" prosecutors also saw increases in homicides in 2020 and 2021.

(2/n) @ctdata Graphs in DataHaven’s newly-released 2023 Community Wellbeing Index (ctdatahaven.org) show the overrepresentation of Black residents in traffic stops & police searches. In some towns, Black people make up <4% of the population but nearly 20% of drivers stopped. #policing #racialequity #cjreform

On the Safe-T Act (Illinois Bail Reform):

Nobody writing these stories ever makes the most important argument in favor of bail reform...incarceration in jail is MORE criminogenic than release on bail.

In other words, not only are rates of re-arrest the SAME as prior to bail reform...incarcerating people pretrial itself increases crime

This is about as good as articles ever get, but they always leave that argument out for some reason #BailReform #SafeTAct #Illinois #cjreform #jail
