As Election Day approaches, we are unsurprised to see a surge in misinformation about the end of money bond.
This is a friendly reminder that rigorous, transparent research from professors at Loyola University was published last month. Read it here: pfa-1yr.loyolaccj.org/

We sponsored research at @CCJLoyola exploring the impact of the Illinois Pretrial Fairness Act, which eliminated cash bail, prohibited pretrial detention and established new standards for pretrial detention and release hearings. Read more here: pfa-1yr.loyolaccj.org/

WBEZ's Chip Mitchell gave a shout-out to our 1st year report on Illinois' elimination of cash bail.
BREAKING: @CCJLoyola reports on #Illinois’ Pretrial Fairness Act, which eliminated cash bail a year ago. Among findings, the percent of defendants detained at initial court hearings plummeted (see below), jail populations shrunk and crime didn't surge.

Our report on the first year of the PFA is out. Overall detention rates have decreased, with the largest decreases for misdemeanor offenses. And failure to appear warrants are lower, with the largest decreases for misdemeanor offenses. Read more here:

Happy Birthday, PFA! The Illinois law eliminating cash bail went into effect a year ago today, and media all over the state have been featuring the Center's take on the law's first year. Codirector Don Stemen was interviewed yesterday on WBEZ's Reset:
