Mississippi SB2319 prohibits unsecured judicial release for persons charged with bail-restricted offenses.
Mississippi SB2319 defines "bail-restricted offense" as any offense with a potential imprisonment term of over one year. It prohibits judges from releasing individuals charged with such offenses on an unsecured judicial release. Instead, these individuals must be released through secured monetary bond, property bond, or professional surety bond. The bill also limits the number of cash bonds posted per year to three. It mandates that entities purporting to be charitable bail funds comply with the same requirements as professional surety companies.
