Abstract

To begin our research, it was necessary to select three sites that not only had the willingness to participate in the self-study process but that also exhibited features likely to prove challenging for the method and to provide useful examples for other court systems. Selection of the sites was guided by three general principles: (1) they had to vary from Philadelphia and one another in legal and organizational structure; (2) they had to have concerns about aspects of bail and pretrial detention practices they would like to address; and (3) they had to have overcrowded jails.
