Escape / Bail Jumping in Madison County
64 cases · Madison County Courts · DCJS Data
Escape and bail jumping cases in Madison County result in conviction in nearly 9 out of 10 instances, a rate substantially higher than the statewide average of 76 percent. Only 11 percent of these cases are dismissed locally, compared to 23 percent statewide—a significant 12-point gap suggesting Madison County prosecutors pursue these charges more aggressively or that defendants face steeper obstacles to dismissal. However, dismissals have trended upward over the past five years, rising from 8 percent in 2019 to 30 percent in 2024, indicating a meaningful shift in how these cases are resolved.
Most defendants charged with escape or bail jumping are released before trial without bail, with 70 percent receiving release on their own recognizance. When bail is set, the median amount is $200. Among those convicted, sentences typically combine multiple punishments: 35 percent receive fines, 33 percent serve jail time, and 18 percent have sentences satisfied by time already served. A notable share of charges—35 percent—are reduced to lesser offenses, most commonly disorderly conduct, suggesting prosecutors or courts view some cases as not meeting the full weight of the original charge.
Dismissal rate includes judicial dismissals and cases dismissed in the interest of justice. Conviction rate includes guilty pleas and findings of guilt at trial. Avg duration measures arraignment to final disposition. Data sourced from New York DCJS Pretrial Release Data. Last updated: March 2026
