Jay-Z’s Roc Nation is supporting a new app that seeks to improve the U.S. criminal justice system.  

Creators of the Promise app intend to reduce incarceration and recidivism by offering local governments “an alternative to holding low-risk people behind bars simply because they can’t afford bail.”

Promise’s website (http://joinpromise.com) positions the app as a service that aims to “get people out of jail and provide ongoing support and supervision to help keep them out.”
