Postscript: Pretrial Release Guidelines and the Passage of Time

Postscript: Pretrial Release Guidelines and the Passage of Time

Personal Liberty and Community Safety, 1995
Abstract
The first pretrial-release-decision guidelines—then referred to as bail guidelines—were introduced experimentally in Philadelphia’s Municipal Court in 1981. This book has described the experiences of three “second-generation” jurisdictions that tested the pretrial release guidelines approach. It is fair to say that the pretrial release concept has not transformed bail and release practices in the United States. It is also fair to say that the need to focus on judicial responsibility in pretrial-release and detention determinations has also not gone away.
