Thank God The Bail Project helped me and I was able to get out. It is safer and easier to fight your case outside of jail.
Help Make Freedom Truly Free
Since launching five years ago, The Bail Project has worked to combat mass incarceration by transforming the pretrial system in Los Angeles and across the U.S. – posting more than $66 million in bail money to secure freedom for over 24,000 people and counting.
In Los Angeles, The Bail Project partners with the L.A. County Public Defender and UCLA Law’s Criminal Justice Program to provide free bail assistance and community-based support to low-wealth residents. In the coming years, The Bail Project seeks to expand its capacity to bail out more people and work with partners to achieve lasting pretrial reforms. Donors will help bring us closer to ending mass incarceration and racial and economic disparities in the criminal legal system.
