Bail Reform in California and Probation's Role in Delivering Pre-Trial Services
SESSION INFO
Monday, August 19, 2019
2:30 PM - 4:00 PM
Session Type: Workshop
All three branches of government in California have agreed on historic legislation to eliminate cash bail and to establish the use of risk assessment tools to institute a pretrial system. The legislation calls on probation personnel to play a pivotal role in administering the risk assessment and reporting to the court as well as monitoring those deemed appropriate by the court for pretrial release. While the legislation is under referendum, the state is still facing the need to address pretrial via court cases calling into question the ability to use cash bail. This workshop will outline how the reform discussion is playing out in California and how probation is preparing to operationalize the many aspects of a pretrial system.
