In 2017, the Sierra Leone Government enacted the Bail Regulations that provides guidelines for the consistent adjudication of bail applications.

Together with Prison Watch-Sierra Leone and Humanist Watch-Sierra Leone, the three partners will hire and assign Court monitors in all the judicial districts. CARL is also required to undertake extensive public education on the Bail Regulations, 2017 across the country.
