Bill overview
The No Bail Post-Jail Act aims to change how individuals are determined for pretrial release in the United States. Specifically, it expands the criteria under which a person can be denied release, particularly if they have a prior felony conviction for a crime of violence. This means individuals convicted of violent felonies who served at least 30 days in jail or prison will be considered a higher risk and may be ineligible for release while awaiting trial. The bill seeks to prioritize public safety by limiting release for those with a history of violent crime.
