On Monday, Google and Facebook announced they are banning all ads from bail bond companies because the for-profit bail industry preys on people of color and the poor, trapping them in an endless spiral of debt. The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law has worked to expose unscrupulous practices by unlicensed bail companies operating in Baltimore and we are now coordinating with public interest organizations in Baltimore City to present regular Bail Bond Clinics and provide free legal services to people who have fallen prey to the commercial bail bond industry. As we do this work, we are ever mindful that women, their unique voices and their unique concerns can no longer remain on the margins of discussions about criminal justice reform. They must become central to the conversation.
