Listen "The Truth About Bail Reform"
Episode Synopsis
Today, we talk about the regressive criminal legal system rollbacks that were passed in April by state lawmakers. In 2019, the state passed laws that improved New York's bail, speedy trial, and discovery laws in ways that made our state fairer and helped reduce mass incarceration. But ever since then, these laws have been the target of a relentless, fear-driven backlash that continues to this day. We discuss these reforms, how they were rolled back in April and where we go from here with NYCLU Policy Council, Jared Trujillo, and NYCLU senior organizer Isabelle Leva.For more on everything we discuss in this episode, visit nyclu.org.To tell lawmakers to hold the line on bail reform, visit nyclu.org/bail.
