2020 reforms for fairness to stop issues like Kalief Browder included Speedy Trial, Bail Reform, and Discovery reform. All at once. What it didn't include? More money. More money to comply with the new standards. To hire relevant staff. To invest in the Alternatives to Incarceration that work, and report people who stop adhering to their ATI mandate while in community.

That doesn't excuse what happened, but it does make it more understandable in knowing that the learning curve to so many changes would be a rough one.
