Several national criminal justice advocacy groups have filed a class action lawsuit against judges in the 19th Judicial District Court, alleging their bail practices discriminate against poor people.Â
The lawsuit claims hundreds of people, most of them poor, Black or both, languish in pretrial detention in East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for long periods of time simply because they cannot pay the bail that has been set as the condition for their release. This system inflicts devastating harm on people solely because of their poverty and violates the most fundamental of American axioms, the lawsuit says. That all people are equal under the law and are innocent until they are found guilty. Â
