These statistics are representative of a pretrial system with little regard for constitutional protections, transparency and accountability, and public safety. To solve this urgent public policy problem, we need bold and innovative ideas for reform.
That is why Arnold Ventures created the National Partnership for Pretrial Justice: a community of practice that supports rigorous criminal justice research, advances policy, and harnesses diverse expertise in pursuit of reducing unjust pretrial detention.
National Partnership initiatives focus on judicial decisions, prosecution, public defense, court administration, and more.
