Overview
This bill requires New Jersey’s Pretrial Services program to recommend pretrial detention for certain repeat offenders. Specifically, it expands the list of offenses for which detention can be recommended, including crimes involving firearms, domestic violence, and offenses where the defendant would face a mandatory prison term. The court must consider a Pretrial Services recommendation when determining whether to detain a defendant pending trial, and a ‘no release’ recommendation can serve as prima facie evidence. The bill amends existing legislation to clarify these procedures.
