For many in the US, the prospect of unfair detention and jail time is all too real. These underprivileged groups, black people in particular, have matters made worse for them by the cash bail system, which punishes the poor with time behind bars before a trial even begins.

In this episode, we speak to Dr. Kortney Ziegler whose company Appolition funds sorely-needed justice to the bail system through the twin powers of tech and the crowd; and we speak to Atara Rich-Shea and Jacqui Bryant, the operatives on the ground bringing the funds to people, and mothers home for Christmas. Tech for good, for good.
