A success story – New Jersey’s historic money bail reform! New Jersey’s new pretrial justice system provides hope and best practices for states working to end mass incarceration.
“New Jersey’s Money Bail Overhaul: A Success Story” tells the story of Tyler, who was arrested and given probation following an altercation with a relative. The court decided against prison time, and thanks to New Jersey’s system Tyler didn’t have to sit in jail for months to learn his fate.
Thank you to our friends at ACLU Campaign for Smart Justice and Drug Policy Alliance for helping to end money bail in New Jersey.
