Most people who are released pretrial aren't arrested on new charges
Most assessed defendants who were released to the community after first appearance were not arrested on a new charge during the pretrial period. During the second quarter of 2016, 536 defendants were assessed with a low or low-moderate risk score and released to the community during the pretrial period. Of these defendants, 466 were not arrested on a new charge of any kind. Yet despite the success rate of people released during the pretrial period, some defendants remain detained. In the second quarter of 2016, 92 low and low-moderate risk defendants remained in jail for the duration of their case (see figure 6 for additional information on the detained population).
