New York City Bail Over-Detention Class Action Lawsuit

New York City agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims it delayed releasing individuals after their bail was paid.

According to the class action lawsuit, New York City violated detainees’ constitutional rights by delaying their release after paying bail. The city allegedly ignored improvement suggestions and instead used a “confusion and perplexing” system to cause delays and over-detentions.

New York City operates a robust police department and department of corrections to detain and incarcerate arrested individuals. Some individuals may be released from custody after paying their bail.

The city hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay an unspecified sum to resolve these allegations.
