In his statement about the kind gesture, Mill said:

"For families impacted by the criminal justice system, the holidays can be an extremely challenging time."
"No one should have to spend the holidays in jail simply because they can't afford bail, and no child should be without their parents during this time if we can do something about it."
"I'm grateful for the opportunity to help these women be with their families and loved ones during this special time of year."

What a beautiful gift. We can't even imagine how happy these women must be to share the season with their families.
