In this episode we delve into cash bail and its racist and classist ties to modern day bondage with your host Desiree Joy Frias and team members of the Bronx Freedom Fund: Interim Director Elena Weissmann, Director of Bronx Operations Richard Jimenez and Client Advocate Fellow Yonah Zeitz. We walk through what it is like if one of your family members was to get arrested - both for the person paying the bail and the person bound by it.
