IF SOMEONE IS ARRESTED AND A JUDGE SETS A BAIL AMOUNT, THE ONLY THING KEEPING THAT PERSON IN JAIL IS THEIR LACK OF MONEY. A JUDGE DECIDES WHETHER OR NOT SOMEONE CAN PAY BAIL TO LEAVE JAIL WHILE AWAITING TRIAL. THE SYSTEM IS BUILT ON MONEY, NOT THE PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE.

Thank you for your generous support in 2020. Because of you, we’ve been able to bail out more than 14,000 people and counting!
With gratitude for this past year and hope for the year ahead, we wish you and your loved ones a very happy holiday season. ❤️

Over 90% of the people (not inmates!) we've posted bail for in Louisville have returned to court, despite having no money on the line!
As impacted communities have long known, people aren't "flight risks" & money isn't an incentive to show up to court.
