Overview
Mission
The court-access project is a not-for-profit organization, created for the sole purpose of eliminating the global problem of illegal pretrial detention between arrest and first court appearance by using technology and, specifically, the court-access app. The court-access app is a simple and inexpensive digital system to notify courts of all arrests.
