The Bail Project, a national nonprofit organization that assists low-income individuals in posting bail, has announced the reopening of its Atlanta branch following a recent legal development. The organization had initially suspended its operations in Georgia due to a new law that imposed restrictions on entities helping individuals pay bail.
Last month, the Bail Project had announced its inability to continue providing bail assistance in Georgia due to legislation that limited the number of cash bonds that could be posted in a year. However, a federal judge intervened by issuing a preliminary injunction against part of the law, deeming the three-bond limit as arbitrary.
