The Bail Project
The Bail Project is a national nonprofit that helps low-income people get out of jail before trial by paying bail for free in selected places. They also help clients remember court dates, get to court, and connect with support services. News reports say they closed their Atlanta branch in June 2024, so people in Georgia should confirm whether help is available before applying.
