Bill > HR5413

This bill, known as the No Bail Post-Jail Act, seeks to modify existing federal law regarding pretrial release by establishing new restrictions for individuals with prior felony convictions. Specifically, the bill would automatically deny bail to adults or juveniles charged as adults with a felony offense if they have a previous felony conviction for a violent crime that resulted in at least 30 days of incarceration in a state or federal correctional facility. Under this proposed legislation, such individuals would be considered inherently dangerous to the community and ineligible for pretrial release, effectively removing judicial discretion in these cases. The bill aims to enhance public safety by preventing individuals with a history of violent felonies from being released before trial, based on the presumption that their prior criminal record indicates a higher risk of posing a threat to community safety. The proposed amendment would be added to Section 3142(e) of Title 18 of the United States Code, which governs pretrial release and detention procedures in the federal criminal justice system.
