Bail-Setting Rate by Borough

The rate of bail or remand set in bail-eligible cases in each borough.

New York Focus and Gothamist/WNYC's analysis excluded cases disposed at arraignment or in which bail was set at $1, signifying a mandatory hold beyond the discretion of judges. Bail-eligibility was calculated using a list of charges that were bail-eligible throughout 2020, supplied by the Center for Court Innovation.
