Rapper Meek Mill has paid bail for 20 women so that they can spend the holidays at home.
The women were incarcerated at Riverside Correctional Facility in Philadelphia and were unable to afford bail, according to an Instagram post from the REFORM Alliance. Five of the women were released on Saturday, and 15 more will be released in the coming week, says the nonprofit. Each woman will also receive a gift card “to purchase groceries or gifts for the holidays.” Meek Mill said the donation was informed by his own personal experience with the criminal justice system.
“No one should have to spend the holidays in jail simply because they can’t afford bail, and no child should be without their parents during this time if we can do something about it. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to help these women be with their families and loved ones during this special time of year.” Meek Mill launched the REFORM Alliance in 2019 alongside a cadre of other sports and business leaders.
