Survey of Pretrial Services Programs

Abstract

This report presents the findings of a survey of pretrial services programs recently completed by the Pretrial Justice Institute (PJI), with funding from the JEHT Foundation and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). This is the fourth such survey over the past 30 years, with the prior studies having been completed in 1979, 1989, and 2001. The findings describe how pretrial services programs compare in relation to one another, in relation to programs of the past, and in relation to the standards of the American Bar Association (ABA) and the National Association of Pretrial Services Agencies (NAPSA).
