Community Bail Funds with Pilar Weiss
from Voir Dire: Conversations from the Harvard Kennedy School Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management · host HKS Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management
Community bail funds pool community resources to pay the bail of people who can't afford to post bail while awaiting trial. They make an important impact in the individual lives of people accused of crimes, but they're also helping to take down the money bail system as we know it in this country. This week, I talk to Pilar Weiss, the Project Director of the National Bail Fund Network, about her work and this movement.
