Case Details
A federal class action challenging pre-trial fees in Anderson County, Texas, secured class certification for hundreds of Texans. The lawsuit addresses the practice of requiring pre-trial arrestees to pay drug testing and bond supervision fees without considering their ability to pay.
Additional Notes
This victory allows the case to move forward on behalf of hundreds of others affected by abusive pre-trial fees, which can lead to a 'debtors’ prison' scenario. The suit was filed in partnership with Equal Justice Under Law.
