Does this mean Promise is paying the cash bail for those awaiting trial? Or is there a lower rate negotiated? What are the qualifications for release (i.e. who gets chosen to get their bail paid over someone else)?
Promise would not pay the cash bail. The goal would be that no bail is paid at all. We would work with the government to agree to release certain individuals back into the community without having to post bail. Promise would then remind them of their obligations so that they stay on track with any court mandated obligations and refer them to services based on the needs of each participant. As to who would be eligible-that would depend on the agreement with each county that we work with.
