A Year of Bail Reform in New Jersey

The Brian Lehrer Show | Feb 21, 2018

Last year, New Jersey  stopped requiring people accused of crimes to post a cash bail to get out of jail. Now other states are looking to the Garden State to see how the new system is working. Nancy Solomon, managing editor of New Jersey Public Radio, and Alexander Shalom, senior supervising attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey, talk about the changes, and the challenges that lie ahead.

  • EVENT: Join WNYC and The Marshall Project for a community conversation with some of the state's top legal experts on what the results have been.
