On December 1, 2022, adjustments and clarifications were made to the Illinois SAFE-T Act by the IL State Legislature that preserve the transformative intent of the legislation. The Pretrial Fairness Act (part of the SAFE-T Act) will eliminate the use of money bond so that no one is detained in jail because they can't afford the price of freedom.

Jail detention will be based on: 1) risk to people in the community and 2) risk of flight from prosecution. The law makes jail about safety, not wealth and it brings us closer to the values our justice system was founded on. Learn more: pretrialfairness.org
