Philly nonprofit organizes mass bailout of city prisoners

WHYY By The correctional complex on State Road in Philadelphia. (Emma Lee/WHYY) In the middle of an outbreak of COVID-19 inside city jails, the Philadelphia Community Bail Fund hopes to free nearly 30 incarcerated people on Saturday. The nonprofit has brought home 325 people since the start of the pandemic, but never more than a few at a time. Cara Tratner, an organizer with the bail fund, said conditions on State Road, the site of the city’s jail compound in Northeast Philadelphia, necessitated a mass bailout. “This is the most dire circumstances we’ve seen yet,” said Tratner. As of Friday morning, 197 incarcerated people were actively infected with COVID-19, according to the city. More than 90% of them are classified as asymptomatic.
