New York State Ends Cash Bail

October 2, 2019

|

Effective January 1, 2020, the following offenses don’t qualify for bail in New York State.  Agree or not with the list of offenses, what this does is creates equality.  This change removes race and income barriers so that everyone can be treated fairly.

New York becomes the third state to stop using cash bail to get people accused of low-level offenses to return to court. Once enacted, most people charged with a misdemeanor and non-violent felonies will be automatically released.

As we work to solve everyday people problems, we continue to make sure that everyone is treated equal while having representation to ensure they are treated fairly.
