Rifs. Just to give you an idea of the scope of what we are doing. Approximately 1100 people come out of jail from our program. This time we are targeting somewhere around 1500 cases. Prior to the last 3 or 4 years, the data that is now coming in, recidivism is around 6 or 7 percent, failure to appear rate or people to appear in court is lower. They are walking people out of jail. Weve just come out of a difficult 45 years and that is budget years with a lot of social services being cut and reall...

Because if the Constitutional Rights can find to incarcerate, they can talk about bail. I think what is so dangerous about that moment and it came to a surface in the bail reform act of 1984, the federal law, the birth of preventative detention which one thought was clearly unconstitutional and then became a public good that changed the whole view of a system. Now we live in a justice preemptive justice, but they will commit other crimes in the future. I would say if we all now agree or at least...

Services and thats really how it wraps into what we do. Before i get to miss dewint, i want to give professor simon a chance to say a few words. Im wondering professor if you can context lies this discussion historically and whether or not there has ever been a large or successful movement in this state towards the elimination of money bail . Now you are going stump me by starting off with an empirical question i cant answer. First im very honored to be here with plenty of officials. I have tenu...

Why is why which is why i would like to see what the Mayors Office and board of supervisors to look at those forms of discipline and what they look like to us. I recognize the fear and i think its a fear, not even a concern that professor simon has creating an Assessment Tool that can be manipulated for lowlevel offenses or drug offenses that can end up like the impact much like we have today with the commercial bail system. But i believe there is a way that we can create validated risk Assessme...

Constitutional right to bail. I would like to come back to that because if the Constitutional Rights can find to incarcerate, they can talk about bail. I think what is so dangerous about that moment and it came to a surface in the bail reform act of 1984, the federal law, the birth of preventative detention which one thought was clearly unconstitutional and then became a public good that changed the whole view of a system.

Empirical question i cant answer. First im very honored to be here with plenty of officials. I have tenure so let me be blunt. We are speaking about building a system which we call mass incarceration. We have many of people who dont need to be locked up and that is to provide public safety. Thats one of the reasons i see bail as so critical. Its not a sexy topic. Its one of the reasons its languaged for decades. Its really the beginning that leads to incarceration and i would suggest to you that...

Custody when he could have been bailed out through corporate bail. Our industry brings to the state of california revenues in excess of 11 to 20 million to state revenues. And what i am hearing is that this movement is to chop us off completely. And i say no. We need to coexist. There is a place for Corporate Charity bail and pretrial. But until the last year we really have not been invited to the table. And this kind of dialogue is very important. You need to hear what we have to say. And there...

Officials. I have tenure so let me be blunt. We are speaking about building a system which we call mass incarceration.

Its really the beginning that leads to incarceration and i would suggest to you that what happens beginning with the failure of the bail reform effort of 60s to achie...

Act of 1984, the federal law, the birth of preventative detention which one thought was clearly unconstitutional and then became a public good that changed the whole view of a system. Now we live in a justice preemptive justice, but they will commit other crimes in the future. I would say if we all now agree or at least many of us agree with Justice Kennedy that the result has been a prison system that is barbaric that doesnt belong in a Civilized Society and serious atonement and i think you wo...
