Request for discussion of the report, “The Effects of Misdemeanor Bail Reform,” by Paul Heaton of the Quattrone Center.
end
Background and Discussion:
This work summarizes ongoing research conducted by the Quattrone Center for the Fair Administration of Justice designed to inform current debates about bail reform. Using detailed data covering tens of thousands of cases in the county, a key early bail reform provision in Harris County, a federal injunction that required the release of individuals charged with misdemeanors who were assigned small amounts of cash bail under the then-existing system but who indicated they were unable to pay, is evaluated. The report is only available online at https://www.law.upenn.edu/institutes/quattronecenter/reports/bailreform/#/ <https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.law.upenn.edu%2Finstitutes%2Fquattronecenter%2Freports%2Fbailreform%2F%23%2F&data=05%7C01%7CMike.Giordanelli%40jad.hctx.net%7Ca999924ebe6e4c89349508da8b669a3f%7C0d9bc79c581b4477acf78d70dd3e555a%7C0%7C0%7C637975570068009242%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=N5REzo57czpWbjiinKxhVdSMZrevjJH8XROKHvHF%2FM0%3D&reserved=0>
