Third Circuit Court of Appeals – Maris Courtroom
601 Market St., Philadelphia, PA

Please pack the court tomorrow morning in support of our clients in their class action lawsuit to stop Allegheny County’s pervasive use of probation detainers—the single largest driver of incarceration at the county jail (ACJ) in Pittsburgh.

A probation detainer prohibits someone’s release from jail until they have a hearing to determine whether they violated their probation. But you can’t just keep people in jail without cause. Incarcerating people for prolonged periods without having first determined that’s necessary violates their state & federal constitutional rights.

Please come to court to show that Pennsylvanians want a system of real justice!
