MBF TESTIFIES AGAINST S.1851!

Re: Opposition to Resolve S. 1851

Dear Chairpersons Gregoire, Pacheco, and Committee Members,

The Massachusetts Bail Fund pays up to $500 bail so that low-income people can stay free while they work towards resolving their case, allowing individuals, families, and communities to stay productive, together, and stable. Pre-trial freedom leads to better case and life outcomes. The Massachusetts Bail Fund is committed to the harm reduction of freeing individuals serving pre-trial sentences, and to abolishing pre-trial detention and supervision in the long-term.
