‘Tis the season for giving back as rapper Meek Mill proceeds to spread some holiday cheer by paying the bail of 20 Philly women currently incarcerated in Philadelphia, Complex reports.
The REFORM Alliance co-founder paid the bail of 20 women incarcerated at the Riverside Correctional Facility in Philadelphia, so they can be reunited with their loved ones in time for the holidays. The women were also given gift cards to buy gifts for their families, reports note.
According to the outlet, five women were released on Christmas Eve, with 15 more women to be released in the coming week.
“It was devastating for me to be away from my son during the holidays when I was incarcerated,”
Mill said in a press release.
“So I understand what these women and their families are going through. No one should have to spend the holidays in jail simply because they can’t afford bail. I’m grateful for the opportunity to help these women be with their families and loved ones during this special time of year.”
