The vast majority of people held in jail are legally innocent. Many of them are there simply because they are too poor to make bail.
Does that look like a system built on justice?
ALT Graph showing that the median felony bail amount is $10,000, yet the median annual pre-incarceration income for men & women aged 23-39 in local jails who were detained pretrial and unable to post a bail bond was $15,598 and $11,071, respectively (2015)

Six years ago, @bailproject had an audacious idea.
Since then, the organization has helped bail out 33,657 people since launch, which has resulted in 1,184,048+ days of pre-trial detention avoided = $92 million saved.

Every year millions of people who are unable to afford bail are held in jail. Just a few days in jail can upend a person’s whole life. But organizations like @bailproject are helping people pay for bail and continue with their lives with dignity. latina.com/two-million-women…

🚨The coalition against State Issue 1 is growing.🎉
Cash bail does not keep us safe: those with money still get out, even if they pose a danger to others, while those who are poor remain detained, even if they were innocent all along.
