New York enacted significant bail reform in 2019, eliminating cash bail for most misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies. The law was amended in 2022 to expand the list of bail-eligible offenses and give judges more discretion. The data above spans 2019–2024, capturing outcomes before, during, and after these reforms. Arraignment decisions depend on the specific charge, the defendant's history, and the judge's assessment under CPL §510.10. Every case is unique — past outcomes do not predict future results.

How we calculate bail rates: We analyze the bail_decision field from DCJS Pretrial Release records. Cases with missing or "Unknown" bail decisions are excluded. Median bail amounts are calculated from cases where bail was set and the amount is greater than zero. County breakdowns require a minimum of 20 cases. Data from DCJS Pretrial Release Data, last updated March 2026.
