Rockford one of 8 key areas in Illinois where Pretrial Fairness Act will be monitored – Rockford Register Star

Winnebago County is one of eight Illinois counties where volunteers will note the names of the judge, the name of the accused, case number, race, gender and charges, if a detention hearing was requested and granted and whether the accused was placed on electronic monitoring, as well as if all the participants were comfortable with the new proceedings, what went well and what did not go so well. Their findings will then be sent to the Chicago Appleseed Center for Fair Courts.
