April 4, 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm. Champaign Public Library, Robeson Room. This month's Reading Club topic will be "No Cash Bail: The Illinois Experiment with Justice Reform." Since September 2023, Illinois courts no longer use a cash bail system. Instead, they use a “pretrial release” system as allowed by the SAFE-T Act. Articles to read and discuss will be sent out to members soon. Plan to come to learn more about this new system and what it means for the judicial process. Here are some optional reading, watching, and listening options. Choose what you wish from the list and come join the discussion of this timely topic.
