About

The Bail Project, Inc. is a nonprofit dedicated to criminal‑justice reform by providing bail assistance to low‑income individuals, thereby reducing unnecessary pre‑trial detention. By operating bail‑payment sites in high‑need jurisdictions, the organization aims to secure the release of tens of thousands of people while gathering data that demonstrates bail is not required for court appearance. Through a combination of bail funding, community outreach, and legal support services, The Bail Project works to disrupt the money‑bail system, promote the presumption of innocence, and advance broader decarceration efforts. The organization offers professionals the opportunity to contribute to meaningful systemic change and to engage directly with communities impacted by the criminal‑justice system.
