Our Story

Founded in 2019 by Alia Kruz, BAIL BAG FOUNDATION, Inc. was created following her experiences in the system, both as an inmate and as a person currently working as an educator in the prison system. More than 65% of those released from California's prisons return within three years. Alia noticed that those repeat offenders, who didn't end up back in prison, would most likely be found in some other arena of the system -- such as a psychiatric ward, treatment center, or worse yet, dead.
