Fiona Apple's new song, "Pretrial (Let Her Go Home)," aims to support Black mothers trapped in the cash-bail system, highlighting the Free Black Mamas DMV initiative. Released on May 7, the song raises awareness of the injustices faced by women in Maryland and Virginia who languish in jail pre-trial due to their inability to pay bail. Apple, who has volunteered with the initiative, uses her music and activism to shed light on the heartbreaking realities of pretrial detention, with her music video featuring powerful testimonials from affected women.
"She was not convicted of anything and they wouldn't let her go home and now there's no more home."
"Over 60,000 women are detained pretrial, presumed innocent, caged in US jails simply because they cannot afford to pay bail."
