It's Friday and we're breaking down bail and bail funds for you! Ever found yourself wondering what exactly is bail or why bail fund are necessary? Swipe to find out! Support local bail funds to fight inequality and help those harmed by pre-trial incarceration.
.
Even more:
⭐ Controlling for various factors, people of color receive higher bonds and are detained at disproportionately higher rates. This means that besides fueling mass incarceration, cash bail is exacerbating racial injustice.

⭐ Since 2000, pretrial detention has driven 95% of growth in the United States jail population.

⭐ Though mental illness affects
jail inmates at rates four to six times higher than the general population, 83% of jail inmates who need
these services do not receive appropriate care.

Another family is in urgent need of support. A small and mighty local team has been working over the last 48hrs to connect this family with resources, but genuinely we can’t do this without your help.

The Utah County Commission will likely hold the final vote on the proposed data center zoning measure. Stand with us to let them know the community should be HEARD, not hurt. What we witnessed at the last county meeting will not intimidate us from coming and exercising our right to be weigh in on what happens in our communities—whether it’s about data centers or anything else.

The protest before the meeting starts at 12pm then the actual meeting begins at 2pm. See you there. ✊ by @slcbailfund

🚨 ATTENTION 🚨 County Mayor Jenny Wilson's proposed budget for 2027 includes a 13.5% tax increase for the purpose of EXPANDING THE SALT LAKE COUNTY JAIL.

That's right. The thing we as voters said NO to in November 2024, the Mayor and County Council are now seeking to do without asking us.

We don't need more people in our community incarcerated. Jail 👏🏼 makes 👏🏼 us 👏🏼 less 👏🏼 safe.

AND, arrests for serious crimes are WAY DOWN over the last 8 years. So why would we spend hundreds of millions of dollars on expanding jail capacity?! Especially when we could use the $500+ million dollars to fund child care, housing, schools, and (*non-carceral) treatment facilities?! Things that actually increase public safety?!

Just like they did in 2024, county council members are justifying the jail expansion as *expanding treatment*. But there is no additional treatment funding written into the budget. Just more jail beds.

The homeless campus. The ARCH program/Orange Street (misdemeanor prison!). A bigger county jail. None of these make us safe. All of these increase harm.

Tell your county council members: vote NO on the Mayor's Budget. We don't want a bigger jail. by @slcbailfund
