No Bail Post-Jail Act

This bill changes federal law on pretrial release, which decides whether a person charged with a crime can be let out of jail before trial. It would require that a person be treated as a danger to the community and be denied release if a judge finds three things. These are that the person is charged with a felony, is an adult or a juvenile charged as an adult, and has a prior felony conviction for a crime of violence. The prior conviction must have led to at least 30 days in a state or federal correctional facility, not counting time held before trial without a conviction.
