BREAKING: We've launched a new pretrial reform project to support the country’s burgeoning #bailreform movement

Advancing Pretrial Policy and Research (APPR) starts with 5 jurisdictions committed to pretrial justice. arnoldventures.org/newsroom/arnol…

APPR pairs jurisdictions with researchers and justice experts for a 5-year project aimed at reducing wealth- and race-based discrimination and ensuring pretrial incarceration is used only when absolutely necessary to protect public safety. #bailreform

@Caduggy 'We can better inform our judges by giving them more information,' says Judge Nathaniel Poovey of @CatawbaCounty. Read a Q&A with him on how public safety and financial responsibility impacted the decision to participate. @ReformPretrial @RTI_Intl @Stanford
