(6:35am) Lisel Petis, former prosecutor and resident senior fellow for criminal justice and civil liberties at the R Street Institute, talks about her analysis titled "A Model for the Nation? Tips from Illinois on Eliminating Cash Bail." 

“Illinois broke new ground as the first state to abolish cash bail with its Pretrial Fairness Act, which took effect Sept. 18, 2023. Now, policymakers and stakeholders across the country are watching Illinois, learning from its successes and challenges as they consider similar efforts. Any changes to the bail system must carefully evaluate safety and flight risks while deterring crime—all without unnecessarily incarcerating low-level offenders. Illinois’ approach offers valuable lessons, serving as both a guide and an inspiration for other states aiming to build a more effective pretrial system.”
