This Week on Due Process 

On any given day, there are 15,000 people in New Jersey's county jails - and a shocking 75% of them have not been convicted of anything. In fact, most of those unsentenced inmates - 4 out of 10 - are locked up only because they can't make bail ... sometimes as little as a few hundred dollars!

On this edition of Due Process, an in-depth look at the pivotal role of money in the pretrial system of justice. If you've got it, you can almost invariably await your day in court in the comfort of your community. If not, chances are you'll wait in county lock-ups - for months or even years.

An eye-opening mini-doc features the first-hand stories of two indigent defendants jailed for long pretrial stretches and only freed - for time served - after agreeing to plead guilty. In the studio, NJ Public Defender Joseph Krakora and Bergen Prosecutor John Molinelli debate the possibility of bail reform. 

We hope you'll join us.
