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: https://t.co/DobqpoiWev

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.

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:
