REPORT: Criminal Justice Inspection Northern Ireland – Community Safety and Local Policing Inspection

Community Safety and Local Policing Arrangements in Northern Ireland

The effects of cash bail on crime and court appearances

On any given day, approximately 514,000 people are held in local jails across the United States. Though defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty, more than 80% of the jail population are awaiting trial and have yet to be convicted of a crime. Defendants accused of particularly serious violent crimes or who pose a credible threat to public safety may be detained in jail while awaiting trial. However, most defendants are entitled to pretrial release. Judges may impose conditions on a defendant’s release, such as electronic monitoring or supervision through a pretrial services agency.
