Up for vote in November and will determine whether measures in SB 10 [0] go into effect, replacing bail with algorithmic risk scores. This relies on Pretrial Risk Assessment Instruments[1] to score people on flight risk and danger to society. I'm interested in the suppliers of such services.

Interesting progressive move. Bail system here seems to be used as a bargaining tool to get plea agreements and biases the system against those without resources. What do you mean by “Suppliers of these services”? Are they going to outsource the risk assessment process? That’s disappointing... and I suspect will make for trouble. Why can’t we just do these things in house they’re a core function of the system. Then there’s no finger pointing about responsibility later. (Which is probably exactly why they would want to outsource it.)
