​PJI is looking for stories of “pretrial injustice”-- stories of how the current bail system in America has failed or is currently failing for individuals involved in the criminal justice system. Often times, pretrial injustice goes unreported and forgotten. These stories could be about:

• A time when money caused unnecessary incarceration of an individual 
• An instance when risk assessment or preventive detention would have prevented future crime
• Jail crowding due to unnecessary pretrial incarceration
• Any other example of current policies or laws that lead to unsafe, unfair, or inefficient pretrial practices

We hope to be able to remember and share the stories of individuals, families and communities who are negatively affected by the bail laws in America. We encourage you to share these stories and/or news articles by emailing them to injustice@pretrial.org
