Escape / Bail Jumping in Ontario County
57 cases · Ontario County Courts · DCJS Data
Escape and bail jumping cases in Ontario County result in conviction in about 81 percent of prosecutions, notably higher than the statewide average of 77 percent (with dismissals running 4.1 percentage points below state average). No defendants were acquitted in the 57 cases examined. However, the trajectory has shifted considerably: dismissals rose from zero percent in 2019 to 36 percent by 2024, suggesting the county's approach to these charges has become more lenient over the past five years.
Most defendants secured pretrial release, with 57 percent released on their own recognizance and another 27 percent released on bail set at a median of $500. Those convicted face varied consequences: 28 percent received jail time, while 19 percent drew fines and 14 percent received probation or time-served sentences. Notably, 56 percent of cases were reduced to lesser charges, predominantly to disorderly conduct (47 percent of reductions). This combination of high conviction rates, accessible pretrial release, and frequent charge reductions suggests prosecutors pursue these charges aggressively but are willing to resolve many cases at lower offense levels.
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
