Arnold's efforts are largely focused on his Public Safety Assessment program, a free algorithm that recommends whether judges should grant bail.
Arnold's bail tool uses an algorithm to predict the likelihood that a defendant will commit crimes while out on bail from jail and whether the defendant will show up to court if released.
In 2017, a New Jersey judge freed a man, Jules Black, who was facing a felony gun charge, based on a favorable score from Arnold's Public Safety Assessment tool.
Arnold tapped Virginia Bersch, who was the chief of policy, research, and training at the Maryland Governor's Office of Crime Control & Prevention under former Democratic governor Martin O'Malley, to lead the Public Safety Assessment tool's rollout.
Arnold Ventures vice president Juliene James, who oversees Arnold's criminal justice reform efforts, served four years in the Obama Justice Department as a senior policy adviser.
Arnold in 2019 contributed $39 million to support bail reform efforts, according to Fox News.
Arnold in 2022 pledged an additional $7.4 million to "Rigorously study prosecutor office policies" with the aim of making the criminal justice system "More racially just and equitable." The full extent of Arnold's contributions to support criminal justice reform efforts is unclear.
