Thank you so much for requesting a community bail out for your family member or friend. Please complete this form, providing as much information as you can. NOTE: We mobilize bail outs from New York City jails only (Rikers, the Boat, Horizons, and Crossroads).
We organize because NO ONE SHOULD BE IN A CAGE and EVERYONE DESERVES support. .
However, we receive many more requests than donations, and we cannot support everyone who is locked up in a NYC jail on bail. While funds are limited, we prioritize support for those facing the most immediate risks (physical, medical, mental, emotional) while caged in NYC jails. **So, we rely on information we receive from you, your loved one, and their lawyer to prioritize your request for bail out support.**
We will carefully review your request. If you haven't heard from us, we had to prioritize other people in the jails. After submitting this form, you can reach out to us at
peoplesbailoutnyc@gmail.com to follow up or update us about your family member or friend.
A note about timing: After we confirm we can organize the bail out, it generally takes us at least one week to mobilize the community support.
