CALEB is building a community fund to help eligible defendants get the bail money they need, but can’t afford.
Personal wealth should not be the basis for determining if a person, presumed innocent, is a flight risk or danger to the community.
With the Hamilton County Community Bail Fund, our neighbors can return home to await trial, allowing them to continue their lives - go to their jobs, be with loved ones, access medicine. When they show up to court, the money for bail goes back into the fund in order to help free the next person. By working together, the bail fund creates a self-sustaining resource for our community and takes a step towards creating a more just system.
