NEW CASE: In Hamblen County, #Tennessee, alongside partners at @GeorgetownICAP, we are bringing a lawsuit challenging their unconstitutional money bail system. #endmoneybail #aThread (1/4)
In Hamblen County, 50% of the nearly 400 people in jail on any given day in 2019 were detained pretrial. These are legally innocent people being jailed in overcrowded and unsafe conditions due to their poverty. (2/4)
As of late 2019, the jail was operating at 172% capacity, with people sleeping chained to benches, door handles, poles, and their own wheelchairs. In the last fifteen years, the local jail population has more than doubled and the pretrial detention population has tripled. (3/4)
This humanitarian crisis is a direct result of assembly line, wealth-based detention. We’re fighting to ensure justice for the poor people of Hamblen County and people suffering in the local jail. #endmoneybail (4/4)
