| The Economics of Bail, Fines, and Fees in the U.S. Criminal Justice System Posted: 28 Feb 2019 05:33 AM PST The Hamilton Project would like to invite you to their upcoming event: The Economics of Bail, Fines, and Fees in the U.S. Criminal Justice System 10am-12pm on Friday, March 15, 2019 The Rockefeller-Peterson Room 1777 F Street, NW Washington, DC 20006 Monetary sanctions have played a role in the U.S. criminal justice system since its founding, but the way these sanctions—bail, fines, fees, and forfeitures—are used has changed dramatically over time and across jurisdictions, as illustrated in the recent Timbs v. Indiana Supreme Court ruling. These sanctions have important effects on who is detained and convicted, their subsequent labor market outcomes, and the priorities of law enforcement agencies. New, rigorous research has provided an opportunity to implement evidence-based reforms: making better use of alternatives to cash bail, adjusting individual sanctions to reflect ability to pay, and breaking the link between sanction revenue and the budgets of law enforcement agencies. On March 15, The Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution will host a forum exploring reforms to monetary sanctions, including bail, fines, fees, and forfeitures. The forum will feature introductory remarks by former U.S. Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin, followed by two panel discussions exploring policy options to implement reforms to the use of fines, fees, and forfeiture; and the case for reforming or eliminating cash bail. The panel discussions will feature: Kristen Clarke, president and executive director, Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law; Maya Wiley, legal analyst, NBC News & MSNBC and Henry Cohen professor of urban policy and management, senior vice president for social justice, The New School; Jeremy Travis, executive vice president of criminal justice, Arnold Ventures; Jamila Hodge, director, Reshaping Prosecution Program, Vera Institute of Justice; Jo-Ann Wallace, president and CEO, National Legal Aid Defenders Association; Robin Steinberg, CEO, The Bail Project; Danielle Allen, James Bryant Conant university professor and director, Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, Harvard University; and Alex Tabarrok, Bartley J. Madden chair in economics, James M. Buchanan Center for Political Economy, department of economics, George Mason University. The event will coincide with the release of a set of economic facts and three new Hamilton Project proposals that focus on graduating fees and fines according to ability to pay, separating revenue collection from law enforcement budgets, and making better use of alternatives to cash bail. For updates on the event, follow @HamiltonProj, and join the conversation using #BailFinesFees.  |
