Criminal Rule 26
Indiana Criminal Rule 26 — which went into effect on January 1, 2020 — states that courts should utilize the results of an evidence-based risk assessment and other relevant information to determine whether an arrestee presents a substantial risk of flight, danger to themselves or danger to the public.
Dubois County Pretrial Services staff use the Indiana Risk Assessment System to complete a pretrial assessment (IRAS-PAT) on a defendant after his/her arrest. The results of the IRAS-PAT are shared with the Court prior to the defendant's Initial Hearing, at which time the Court may order the defendant to participate in the Pretrial Monitoring program.
Dubois County's Pretrial Monitoring Program Details:
Indiana’s pretrial system strives to achieve the 3 M’s –
Maximizing public safety,
Maximizing court appearance,
Maximizing pretrial release.
Additionally, Indiana’s pretrial system follows these guiding principles:
Fairness
A pretrial system that is fair is not based on ability to pay (bond and supervision fees), but instead is based on the assessment of objective factors relevant to public safety and court appearance
Harm Reduction
A pretrial system that reduces harm protects the public from those who pose a danger to the community while reducing the detention of those whose risk to public safety may actually be increased as a result of pretrial detention
Informed
A pretrial system that is informed is guided by social science research along with comprehensive case-specific information
Cost-Effectiveness
A pretrial system that is cost-effective reserves expensive jail resources for those who pose a danger to public safety and utilizes non-detention-based interventions, including pretrial supervision, for those who can be safely managed in the community.
