As COVID-19 sweeps through the nation, rapper Mozzy is doing his part to ensure incarcerated people are not left behind. Mozzy teamed with The Bail Project , a national nonprofit that provides free bail assistance to thousands of people every year, via IG live to discuss ways to help towards reform. The nonprofit is currently conducting emergency bailouts in cities from Chicago and Indianapolis to Detroit, Louisville, and St. Louis. He also pre-released his upcoming album early on JPay (a tool where inmates can stream new music).

On any given day, hundreds of thousands of people, disproportionately from communities of color, are locked in jails while awaiting trial because they cannot afford cash bail. Overcrowded jails are the perfect incubator for COVID-19 and are quickly becoming hotspots for this unprecedented public health crisis.

During the event, Mozzy spoke with Asia Johnson of The Bail Project. Johnson is a Bail Disruptor at The Bail Project’s Detroit office.

The Bail Project has community-based teams in over 20 jurisdictions across America and has bailed out over 10,000 people since launching in 2018. Since bail money is returned at the end of a case when a person has made their court appearances, The Bail Project is able to re-use every dollar donated to its National Revolving Bail Fund and assist multiple people.
