Project Remand, a private, non-profit organization, has provided a comprehensive program of adult pretrial services since 1973. Project Remand helps Ramsey County reduce jail population pressures by offering alternatives to traditional detention while promoting public protection and lawful behavior through pretrial services. Our mission is to provide safe and effective alternatives to traditional detention and prosecution through the delivery of pretrial services. Since our inception, over 250,000 jail screenings/bail evaluations have been completed, while the number of individuals considered for conditional release or diversion has increased nearly ten-fold. Project Remand works cooperatively with the Ramsey County District Court in making release recommendations. The balance between public protection and our constitutional principle of “innocent until proven guilty” is critical, thus the community’s safety is carefully weighed against the rights of the accused. |

James Bolden has worked for Project Remand as a District Court Counselor for over 17 years. Throughout that time, James has tirelessly worked to ensure that defendants’ rights are protected while also ensuring public safety. On April 9, 2012, the lives of James’ sister, DeLois Brown and his parents, Clover and James Bolden Sr. were taken in a senseless act that has tremendously impacted the lives of their family, the Project Remand staff, and the entire Twin Cities community. The family is asking the Twin Cities for support with remembering the victims in a way that celebrates their lives and not the tragedy. The Brown-Bolden Memorial Fund is at any Bremer Bank. All donations will support the needs of the family in celebrating their lives and insuring justice in the future. Funeral Service Information:Tuesday, April 17 - 9 AM visitation, 10 AM funeral for DeLois Brown, James Bolden and Clover Bolden. Location: Church of Minneapolis - 316 4th Avenue SE, Minneapolis MN Flowers and condolences can be sent to the Church of Minneapolis |
