Abstract: 

A National Symposium on Pretrial Justice is convened to draw attention to a deeply flawed pretrial justice system in which a defendant’s access to money, rather than the risks posed by the defendant, most often determined whether the defendant would remain in jail pending trial or be released to the community.

Keywords: citation releases; data-driven decision making; pretrial bills
