We have received text from S. 2768: No Bail Post-Jail Act. This bill was received on 2025-09-11, and currently has no cosponsors.
Here is a short summary of the bill:
The **No Bail Post-Jail Act** proposes changes to federal law regarding the pretrial release of individuals accused of certain crimes. The main provisions of the bill include:
Denial of Pretrial Release
The bill aims to deny pretrial release for individuals who:
- Are charged with a felony offense.
- Are adults or juveniles charged as adults for the felony offense.
- Have a previous felony conviction for a violent crime, which resulted in them serving at least 30 days in a correctional facility. This does not include any time spent in pretrial detention before a conviction.
If a judicial officer determines that an individual meets these criteria, they would be classified as posing a danger to community safety, and therefore, would not be eligible for release before their trial.
Impact on Judicial Decision-Making
This legislation would require judicial officers to take into account prior convictions when making decisions about pretrial release. It sets a clear guideline that individuals who fall into the aforementioned categories should not be released, thereby potentially increasing the number of individuals held in custody awaiting trial.
Implementation and Oversight
The bill does not outline specific mechanisms for how this pretrial detention would be monitored or enforced, nor does it provide directives on how local jurisdictions should implement these stipulations. It leaves it to judicial officers to interpret the criteria when considering pretrial release.
Potential Consequences
By potentially increasing the number of individuals held without bail, the bill could lead to various consequences within the criminal justice system, including impacts on jail populations and court proceedings.
