MAJR Plans Public Sessions
Find out what’s wrong with Maryland’s Pretrial Justice System – and how to fix it
Even before their “day-in-court,” over 6,000 Marylanders daily wait in jail –held only due to poverty as they cannot afford excessive money bail – on average over $20,000.
Awaiting trial, young people lose jobs, housing, and stress family-ties to the breaking point. Disproportionately, African-Americans and other minorities are impacted.
Other U.S. states and regions have made major pretrial improvements saving taxpayer funds, improving public safety, and strengthening communities.
Maryland’s General Assembly convenes 1/11/17 and with voters’ support could make a difference. Find out how about proposed changes and what you can do.
