CCBF and our partners continue to fight for pretrial freedom and the end of money bond. The Pretrial Fairness Act will eliminate cash bail in Illinois when it is successfully implemented in January of 2023! The legislation will also significantly reduce pretrial incarceration. We are ecstatic to see an end to money bond in Illinois, a victory that came from a five-year campaign with communities across the state. CCBF's revolving fund will continue to pay bonds through 2022 and expand legal advocacy and post-release support efforts for people we have bonded out.
The Pretrial Fairness Act will make a positive impact on communities that are disportionately impacted by cash bail and pretrial incarceration. However, the fight for pretrial freedom continues, and CCBF needs your support! Make a contribution to sustain our operations today. No amount is too small!
