Bail Requests

Help a Loved One
PCBF is currently not accepting general referrals for bail help, but we will be posting a few bails every month as funds allow for people who are pregnant or facing serious medical or mental health emergencies. You can use the form below to request help.

Please give us as much information as you can about the person you are referring, including their full name, birth date, PP number, and their medical condition. Also please share your contact information so that we can reach out. Please understand that our capacity is limited. Only requests which meet the criteria for an emergency bail out will receive replies.

We encourage those with loved ones currently incarcerated to connect with a Participatory Defense Hub. Participatory Defense Hubs are akin to support groups where people who are facing and have faced criminal charges gather weekly with organizers trained in how to navigate the criminal justice system to workshop each other's cases and provide support. You can learn more and connect with a hub near you here.
