SIGN THE PETITION TO SUPPORT OUR DEMANDS

We, the undersigned organizations, urge the State Attorney's Office, the Second Judicial Circuit, the Leon County Detention Center and police departments across Leon County to immediately release all people who are currently incarcerated on bondable offenses from jail and to stop adding new people to the jail population.

 Mass incarceration is a public health crisis, especially at this time. As of today, there were around 982 people caged in Leon County Detention Center,  66% of whom are awaiting trial and are thus presumed innocent.

We have a moral calling to our community, which includes people behind jail walls, in the midst of this pandemic. Continued incarceration will be a death sentence.
