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. |

Project Remand Mourns the Loss of Staff Member |
||
|
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. On July 27th, Eddie Mosley was indicted on 9 counts of first degree murder for these murders. He remains in custody in Hennepin County, on $6 million bail, pending an Omnibus hearing on September 10th. Project Remand is selling wristbands to raise money for the Brown-Bolden Memorial Fund. Please stop in the Project Remand office if you would like to purchase a wristband. |
