Dedicated to ensuring informed pretrial decision making for safe communities.
The Pretrial Justice Institute works to accomplish its mission through three main activities: Advocacy, Technical Assistance and Training, and Improving Research.
We advocate throughout the country to increase fairness and access to justice. The goals of our advocacy are three-fold. We want to reduce the number of people who are held before trial when they pose no threat to the community and will return for court appearances. We want to ensure that dangerous people are held before trial, keeping communities safe. And we want to increase the number of people who are appropriately diverted from the criminal justice system to services such as mental health or substance abuse treatment.
Our technical assistance and training work includes a wide range of services to communities interested in increasing fairness in pretrial processes and reducing the number of people in its jails. They include:
Risk Population Management: we develop and validate risk instruments for specific communities, as well as provide supervision strategies, designed to protect community safety and minimize needless pretrial detention by identifying which individuals can be safely released.
Specialty Courts: we design and develop new specialty courts, or assess existing ones, to serve as a pretrial diversion or release mechanism (such as drug courts, mental health courts, or juvenile courts).
Pretrial Program Development: we design, develop and implement pretrial services programs.
Program Assessment: we conduct operational and outcome-based assessments of pretrial services programs and pretrial diversion program.
Facilitation: We facilitate negotiations on-site among system stakeholders to develop operating agreements.
Speakers: We provide speakers to discuss alternative
strategies to incarceration.
Training Materials: We offer a wide range of training courses for pretrial services directors and staff.
And our work to improve research encompasses a large data collection project on state court processing statistics, our own published research, and our collaboration with universities and institutions that conduct high-quality research to encourage pretrial justice topics.
