IndianaWith Cash BailIndiana's 2020 "Rule 26" guidelines recommend that arrestees who do not represent a flight risk or a danger to themselves or others should be released without bail. Exceptions exist for arrestees who are charged with murder or treason, are already on pre-trial release for a previous crime, or are on probation or parole. In 2022, House Bill 1414 sought to enshrine this recommendation as law, but languished in committee.

New JerseyNo Cash BailNew Jersey effectively eliminated cash bail in 2014, but support exists to reinstate it in some capacity, particularly against repeat offenders.
