Criminal Justice Reform: Changes to the Pretrial System

Publication date: 
01/07/2019

In 2017-8 California State Legislative Session, SCG developed an analysis on the background and implications of Senate Bill (SB) 10 (Hertzberg), which proposed to restrict the practice of setting “monetary bail” by establishing a risk assessment tool conducted by judges. Monetary bail is a sum of money that an accused person awaiting trial can deposit to receive a temporary release from jail. The deposit conceptually acts as an incentive for accused persons to return to court. SB 10 proposed an alternative to monetary bail system with a statewide “risk assessment tool”. The tool determines whether defendants can be safely released from jail while awaiting trial. SB 10 proposed this change because the bail system unfairly affects individuals who cannot afford to pay for bail.

Family Philanthropy Newsletter, January 2019

Publication date: 
01/07/2019

The holiday season has come to an end. For some of us the holidays are bittersweet, pulling on our emotions between warm, laughter-filled moments with family and the strain of keeping everyone reasonably happy. Like it or not, families play an intricate, if not intense, role in the holidays but unlike all of our holiday decorations that we can box up and put away for another year, families are a constant.
