Half a million Americans sleep in jail cells tonight because they're too poor to buy their freedom. The companies running these jails profit billions. We get people out, then we make those companies pay.
We get people out of pretrial detention. No one should lose their job, their home, or their kids because a judge set bail they can't afford.
Every case reveals the system. Civil rights violations, unconstitutional conditions, corporate negligence. We document everything.
We fund and pursue litigation against the corporations profiting from mass incarceration. Private prisons, predatory bail bond companies, anyone extracting wealth from human cages.
Recoveries fund more releases. Every dollar we take from a corporation frees more people. The flywheel turns.
Same charge, same judge. The person with $5,000 goes home. The person without it loses everything waiting for trial.
GEO Group. CoreCivic. The bail bond industry. They need people in cells to make money. The system works exactly as they designed it.
Can't afford bail? Plead guilty to go free. 95% of cases end in plea deals. That's not justice, it's coercion.
When prisons riot, when conditions violate constitutional rights, when people die in cells, corporations pay fines smaller than their quarterly profit.
BailStrike exists because freedom shouldn't have a price tag, and because the companies that built this system should be the ones paying to dismantle it.
