Reducing New York City's Jail Population
New York City's incarceration rates have been dropping steadily, but a new report from the Center for Court Innovation, in collaboration with the
Vera Institute of Justice, suggests the city’s jail population can still be brought significantly lower. The report
looks in detail at key decision-points along the path from arrest through bail to sentencing and makes concrete suggestions
for how to improve the system, especially for those defendants detained awaiting trial. In this New Thinking podcast,
Matthew Watkins speaks with Michael Rempel, the report's lead author and the Center's research director.
