Why did this happen?
• Increase in case volume• Increase in case complexity (FTC)• Culture of adjournment• Risk aversion
11
Setting people up to fail
• Require supervision • Impose numerous, onerous conditions of release• Questionable relation to allegations/grounds for
detention• Criminalization of non-criminal behaviour• Time to trial• Fail to comply
12
Implications
• Presumption of innocence• Presumption of release on bail (least
restrictive)• Bail decision to be made quickly• Responsibilizing private citizens• Shifting locations of punishment
