How do we fix the broken US cash bail system? It starts with those most impacted.

The United States cash bail system is fundamentally broken - and it disproportionately hurts people in low-income and vulnerable communities. The Bail Project combats mass incarceration by disrupting the cash bail system, one person at a time. 

David Gaspar is the National Director of Operations at the Bail Project. Through his personal experience, David understands that the impact of the US criminal legal system on individuals and families – especially the bail system – can be detrimental. By disrupting the cash bail system, the Bail Project aims to turn the tide on mass incarceration in the US.
