Mission
The Massachusetts Bail Fund pays cash bail for those who cannot afford it and works to end pre-trial detention and supervision in all of its forms.
Program accomplishments
- Our organization posted 1,518 bails in 2024 which means a significant portion of those who could not afford bail in pre-trial detention were able to access bail help through our organization. We distributed 300 bags for those coming out of jail with personal hygiene items, resources and harm reduction supplies to help people get through the first 24 hours of re-entry as well as 200 coats in the winter time. We led multiple workshops for the community to understand bail practices, pre-trial detention and specific issues at county jails and mobilized over 60 volunteers over the course of the year to partake in outreach, tabling, bailing and project work. We also anchored multiple projects around mapping pre-trial detention in MA and understanding and challenging bail forfeitures, organized against carceral expansion projects at local jails and supported local organizers and organizations in understanding the arrest to arraignment process.Expenses $282,327 · grants $19,015
