Why Our Bail System Needs to Change, Part 1 | Transformation Blueprint Podcast (Ep 2)

In this pilot episode of the Minnesota Justice Research Center (MNJRC)'s podcast, Kayla Richards sits down with Tim Schnacke and Anna Hall for Part 1 of a conversation about cash bail and pretrial detention practices in Minnesota and nationwide. We hear expert perspectives on the function and failure of cash bail in Minnesota, bust misconceptions and myths about wealth-based systems of detention, and explore the question of what actually gets people to return to court. Stay tuned for Part 2 where Kayla, Tim, and Anna dig into MNJRC's two-year study of Minnesota's pretrial system and the important recommendations we drew from this community-based research.
