About Us

The Bail Project combats mass incarceration by disrupting the money bail system—one person at a time. We restore the presumption of innocence, reunite families, and challenge a system that criminalizes race and poverty. We’re on a mission to end cash bail and create a more just, equitable, and humane pretrial system.

              In 2021, Illinois became the first state to eliminate the use of cash bail entirely. In response, The Bail Project - Chicago is no longer providing bail assistance but has partnered with the Lawndale Christian Legal Center to support people coming out of pretrial detention on personal recognizance.
              On July 1, 2022, a new law went into effect in Indiana restricting our ability to help low-income Hoosiers in need of bail. The Bail Project is currently challenging this law in court.

Though our local branches are unable to accept referrals at this time, our teams in Gary and Indianapolis will continue supporting current clients of The Bail Project with court notifications, transportation assistance, and voluntary referrals to social services and community resources as needed.
