JusticeLA is cautiously celebrating Tuesday’s announcement from Los Angeles County Superior Court. On October 1, 2023, LA County will implement new misdemeanor and felony bail schedules that eliminate pre-arraignment money bail for many sections of the penal code. Notably, money-bail is still a factor for various charges, demonstrating that the Superior Court still needs to come a long way in understanding the consequences of wealth-based detention and the drivers of mass incarceration.
