Summary

Today on the Sup podcast, we talked to Ashley White, a bail disruptor with The Bail Project. Ashley describes what a “bail disruptor” does and how local bail funds work to combat mass incarceration. She explains how cash bail contributes to systemic inequality and the biggest barriers to eliminating it. Advocating for reform in her home community of Baton Rouge, Ashely explains why local bail funds and community ties are so important in minimizing incarceration. Finally, she explains how simple services -- like offering rides to court dates -- can take people off the path to incarceration, and how you can make an immediate impact in your community.
