Abused? Arrested? Imprisoned? Ten apps to help the poor cope with a justice system that favors the rich.

Excerpt from Democracy Labs:

The rich post bail, or lawyer up and go free. The poor are imprisoned for minor offenses, cannot pay bail, end up in jail and stripped of their voting rights in many states. A criminal record makes it harder for them to find employment once they’ve served their sentence… It’s a vicious cycle that disempowers the poor.

“These solutions are a new breed of legal tech — instead of focusing on modernizing the existing legal services such as contracts, practice management and legal research. They leverage technology to directly scale legal services to underserved people.” – Felicity Conrad
