Task Force Considers Bail Reform for Kansas

State officials say they’ll consider whether to implement pretrial risk assessment in more Kansas courts.  
State officials say they’ll consider whether to implement pretrial risk assessment in more Kansas courts.  

In recent years, states and cities around the country have reconsidered who they keep in jail and who they let out on bail.  Now, a group of judges, lawyers and corrections officials want to do the same in Kansas.  A state-appointed task force will study how to make sure people still show up for trial, without putting too many people in jail.  For the Kansas News Service, Nomin Ujiyediin reports on a county program that could spread to the rest of the state.
