Bail Reform in New York: Five Years In, What Comes Next?

This event was recorded live on April 3, 2024.
In April 2019, New York state passed sweeping reforms to its criminal legal system. Hailed as some of the most ambitious in the country, the laws included hotly contested reforms to cash bail, significantly reducing the number of people in jail pretrial. Critics said this resulted in a spike in crime on New York City’s streets. Five years later, researchers and practitioners discuss bail reform’s successes and failures, its real impact on crime and recidivism, and next steps for a fairer and more equitable criminal legal system in New York.
Expert presenters and panelists include Jennifer Ferone, deputy research director, CUNY Institute for State & Local Governance; Jaeok Kim, associate director of research, Vera Institute for Justice; Darren Mack, co-founder and co-director, Freedom Agenda; Agnieszka Mamczur-Fuller, associate director of clinical services, Queens Supervised Release Program; Krystal Rodriguez, policy director, Data Collaborative for Justice; René Ropac, senior research associate, Data Collaborative for Justice; and Hon. Joseph A. Zayas, chief administrative judge, New York State Unified Court System.
Presented with the CUNY Institute for State & Local Governance.
