Describe how each of the five innovative bail systems works
What will be an ideal response?
Bail is a cash bond or some other security provided to the court to ensure the appearance of the defendant at every subsequent stage of the criminal justice process, especially trial. It is typically granted during a court hearing in felony cases but in less serious cases can be handled in a variety of ways. The police field citation release is commonly used for misdemeanor charges and is where an arresting officer releases the arrestee on a written promise to appear in court. A police station house release citation is used when the determination of the arrestee's eligibility and suitability for release are deferred until after he or she has been removed from the scene of arrest. The police/pretrial jail citation release is used when the arrestee's eligibility and suitability for citation release is deferred until he or she has been delivered to the jail or other pretrial detention facility for screening, booking, and admission. Direct release programs streamline the release processes and reduce the length of the stay in detention. Finally, the police/court bail schedule is used when an arrestee can post bail at the station house or jail according to the amounts specified in a bail schedule.
