Bill > S2768

This bill, known as the "No Bail Post-Jail Act," proposes to modify existing federal law regarding pretrial release by establishing new restrictions for individuals with prior criminal histories. Specifically, the bill would make a person ineligible for bail if they are currently charged with a felony and have a previous felony conviction involving a crime of violence that resulted in at least 30 days of incarceration in a state or federal correctional facility. The provision applies to both adult defendants and juveniles who are being charged as adults. By adding this language to Section 3124(e) of Title 18 of the United States Code, the bill aims to prevent individuals with a demonstrated history of violent criminal behavior from being released before trial, based on the presumption that they pose a potential danger to the community. The legislation reflects a legislative approach to public safety that seeks to limit pretrial release for repeat offenders with violent criminal records.
