Prop 25 Cash Bail Replacement
Replace cash bail with risk assessments. Evidence shows reform works without sacrificing court appearances.
Prop 25 replaces California’s cash bail system with a risk assessment system.
Cash bail advantages wealthier people charged with crimes, and evidence from Orange County suggests that “pending bail reform measures in California and elsewhere, which replace cash bail with risk assessment screening and non-monetary supervised release, can be implemented without sacrificing appearances in court.” This is a positive step in reducing time spent in jail and building a fairer criminal justice system.
