Jay Z has had a memorable Father's Day with the birth of his twins with his wife Beyonce, but he's also using the occasion to push an issue targeting the plight of people stuck in jail because they can't afford bail. The rapper wrote in Time, "When black and brown people are over-policed and arrested and accused of crimes at higher rates than others, and then forced to pay for their freedom before they ever see trial, big bail companies prosper," writes Jay Z. He is supporting a drive to help bail out men who can't afford to do so themselves, but he writes that "philanthropy is not a long fix."
