About Us
Legacy of Immigration Excellence
Our law firm was founded with a vision to provide exceptional immigration services. Over the years, we have grown into a trusted name in the industry, helping countless individuals and families achieve their immigration goals.
About the Fund
The West Virginia Community Bail Fund is an all-volunteer community group that
posts bail in order to free incarcerated people in the state of West Virginia. We believe no one should be locked in a cage, especially those being held pretrial (legally innocent) who simply cannot afford their freedom. Regional jails in West Virginia, which are notorious for over crowding and harsh conditions, are full of people facing these circumstances.
We see the carceral system as an extension of exploitive extraction, which has long shaped the social, political and economic landscape in West Virginia. Fighting to end cash bail and oppressive jails is a critical part of a more just future for our state, region, and world.
When someone qualifies, we will post their bail at no charge! We ask that folks who are bailed out follow their bond conditions and see the court process through to the end. This is a revolving fund, so when bail is released by the court it is used again to bail out someone else.
Who Can We Support?
At this time we are only able to provide bail assistance to
people in South Central Regional Jail.
We hope to expand in the future so that we can bail people out of other regional jails throughout the state of West Virginia.

Some Facts about WV Jails:

In the 2010s, West Virginia jails were the deadliest in the country. Two out of three people who died in jail had not been convicted of a crime--and remained legally innocent--at the time of their death. (https://www.acluwv.org/sites/default/files/field_documents/overcrowded_and_deadly_final.pdf)
During the Covid-19 pandemic, WV prisons had the highest death rate in the country (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/19/us/covid-prison-deaths.html)
Since January 2020, at least 307 people have died in a WV jail or prison. (https://wvpolicy.org/quantez-burks-report/)
While Black residents make up 3.7 percent of WV's general population, Black people compromise 12.1 percent of the WV jail population. (https://data.census.gov/table/DECENNIALCD1182020.P8?g=040XX00US54, https://dcr.wv.gov/resources/SiteAssets/Pages/publications/Pub_AnnualReport_FY2024_DHS_DCR.pdf)
People in WV jails are overwhelmingly poor people. 90% of people charged with a criminal offense in WV qualify for a court-appointed lawyer. Poor people are less likely to afford bail, so they will often be forced to await trial from a jail cell. On any given day, over half the people in WV jails have not been convicted of a crime.
