We pay bail for free and advocate for pretrial policies that treat everyone fairly, no matter how much money they have.
About us
The Bail Project, Inc. is a nonprofit organization designed to combat mass incarceration by disrupting the money bail system ‒ one person at a time. We believe that paying bail for someone in need is an act of resistance against a system that criminalizes race and poverty and an act of solidarity with local communities and movements for decarceration. Over the next five years, The Bail Project will open dozens sites in high-need jurisdictions with the goal of paying bail for tens of thousands of low-income Americans, all while collecting stories and data that prove money bail is not necessary to ensure people return to court. We won’t stop until meaningful change is achieved and the presumption of innocence is no longer for sale.

🚨 “Innocent until proven guilty” only applies if you can afford it. When our National Director of Operations Robert Brown was just 17, he learned the hard way that freedom isn't free – it has a price tag. If you're Black and don't have the money, you're more likely to pay with your life, your job, and your family. Every day, people sit in jail not because they’re guilty, but because they can't afford bail. The result? Lost jobs, lost homes, and forced guilty pleas. Read Robert's powerful story and why we must end cash bail: bailproject.org/robertb #BlackHistoryMonth #FreedomShouldBeFree
