Join your neighbors to watch and discuss with experts and community leaders the crucial eighth episode of the award-winning Philly D.A. docu-series.

Cash Bail has been a hot topic in Philadelphia over the past couple of years. In this discussion we will dig deeper into pre-entry, bail navigators, and community contributions and advocacy and how all this plays a role in community safety.

Episode 8 synopsis (watch clip) : Krasner recruits law students to become the next generation of prosecutors.
