Lessons from #NJ #bailreform: Jail population has dropped by > 40% but racial disparities remain (54% black before bail reform, 55% black after bail reform). Also while they have released more ppl, electronic monitoring has increased. - Insha Rahman @verainstitute #CfASummit

Anton Robinson from @innocence taking us through a history lesson of our criminal legal system starting with the Civil War Amendments (14th, 15th, 16th US amendments) and the 1994 Crime Bill. If you want to understand the current system, start there. #CfASummit @exygy

About a 500k people in the US are sitting in jail who have not yet been convicted of a crime. They are there because they can't afford their own freedom by paying their bail. We are one of a handful of countries that uses money bail. - Insha Rahman @verainstitute #CfASummit
