Indiana Public Question 1, Bailable Offenses and Substantial Risk Standard Amendment

Current assessment

Adds preventive detention with clear-and-convincing proof that no release conditions reasonably protect others; stronger safeguards than Tennessee, but liberty loss remains.

What still needs an answer

• Use the existing Indiana commission record to check review, counsel, detention duration, and expected additional detention.
• Should courts be allowed to detain someone before trial when clear and convincing evidence shows no release conditions can reasonably protect others? The remaining factual check is whether review and duration safeguards are adequate.
