Letitia Sanabria poses for a portrait in Baton Rouge, La., Sunday, May 2, 2021. A national effort helping to bail poor and low-income people out of jail formally announced on Tuesday, May 4, its expansion into the Deep South. Sanabria still weeps when she thinks about the few days last winter that she spent in a Louisiana parish jail because she couldn’t afford to post bond on $5,000 bail. “It caused chaos, and it was the worst experience ever,” said Sanabria, who had been arrested in Baton Rouge in December for allegedly interfering in a custody dispute involving her grandchild. Before that day, the 54-year-old had never been jailed in her life. (AP Photo/Dorthy Ray)
