Radical Hospitality Ministries Reaches 300 Clients Under Illinois Pretrial Success Act
In a recent op-ed, Katrina Baugh, director of Radical Hospitality Ministries in Wheaton, highlighted a milestone for the organization: enrolling its 300th client in DuPage County through Illinois’ Pretrial Success Act pilot program. Baugh writes that simple support—court reminders, transportation, and service connections—helps people awaiting trial remain stable, appear in court, and avoid unnecessary incarceration while strengthening public safety.

The state has a tremendously successful pilot in four counties to offer free services to those on pretrial release. But federal budget cuts put the program at risk.
HEALING STARTS WITH COMMUNITY
Radical Hospitality Ministries walks alongside individuals navigating incarceration and re-entry, offering housing referrals, case management, and holistic support, creating a community where people are met with dignity, connection, and hope for what comes next.
