For New Yorkers who can't afford bail, their only option used to be waiting trial in jail on Rikers Island. But in 2016, #NYC started offering another option: supervised release. Nafisha, photographed here by @elizabethdherman, received the alternative the last time she faced a judge in court. In turn, she wouldn’t be separated from her infant daughter. And because the prosecutor ultimately dismissed the charge against her, she wouldn’t serve time for a crime that she was never to be convicted of. Since the city began offering the option, more than 11,000 people have entered the program, and the mayor’s office estimates that it’s responsible for 38% of the decline in the jailed population on Rikers Island since then. And it has done so in defiance of traditional notions that people who’ve been arrested pose a danger to public safety and are best detained until trial. With the Rikers population falling, supervised release may ultimately play a decisive role in whether the jail can be closed — but it will depend on how far judges, prosecutors, and the public are willing to go in altering how they treat risk.
