To use just one example, courts in The Bronx are so backlogged, it can, and does, take several years for a case to get to trial. If you can't make bail, you will spend those years sitting on Rikers Island. It has happened that defendants have spent more time waiting for their cases to work through the system, than their actual sentences would have been. |
