The Bail Project is allowed to post bail for most people charged with misdemeanors or non-violent felonies, but the law bars the group from assisting people accused of violent felonies or those who have ever been convicted of a violent felony.
A federal court has upheld a state law that regulates The Bail Project and other charities that pay bail for poor people who face criminal charges.
Judge Candace Jackson-Akiwumi disagreed with the majority and said The Bail Project deserves First Amendment protection. That law, HEA 1300, requires charitable bail organizations be licensed and regulated by the Indiana Department of Insurance and limits who can be bailed out. "This law created a double standard in how nonprofits that provide free bail assistance are treated versus bail bond companies that profit from bonding people out," Poor said."We plan to ask for rehearing before the full court."
Clayton's organization represents about 13,000 private bail agents in 46 states, including about 500 in Indiana. The Bail Project paid bail for about 1,000 people in Marion and Lake counties since it began operating in Indiana in 2018.
