Pretrial Without Favor examines the operational ethics of American pretrial systems, where decisions about liberty, supervision, risk, and public safety require neutrality that can withstand pressure, familiarity, and informal influence.

Drawing on field-based experience and administrative analysis, Dr. Mozelle Martin presents a structural framework for protecting procedural integrity across pretrial environments. The book addresses documentation fidelity, risk-matched verification, role-separated accountability, audit triggers, escalation consistency, and measurable harm-prevention practices designed to strengthen fairness without requiring expanded staffing or additional funding.

Rather than treating ethics as a matter of personal intention, Pretrial Without Favor focuses on the systems that make neutrality observable, repeatable, and auditable. It examines how operational culture can drift away from constitutional purpose when informal alignment, inconsistent supervision, incomplete documentation, or unchecked discretion begin to substitute for disciplined procedure.

For pretrial administrators, magistrates, officers, court professionals, justice-system leaders, policy specialists, and others concerned with procedural fairness, this book offers a practical framework for building systems in which neutrality is supported by structure rather than assumption.
