Stay Informed

Sign up to receive our newsletter and stay up to date on legislation initiatives, organization news and how NCBF is working to end cash bail and mass incarceration in the PNW.

Court Watch

Court Watch is a volunteer-based presence in courtrooms to observe legal proceedings. While court hearings are public, many community members have never witnessed the inside of a courtroom. By recording data and stories, we document the reality of our legal system, identify systemic patterns, and advance our vision of abolishing pretrial detention.
