HOLD FOR STORY BY SARA BURNETT - FILE - In this Sept. 29, 2011 file photo, inmates at the Cook County Jail in Chicago, line up to be processed for release. Activists who say too many poor people are unfairly languishing in U.S. jails because they can't afford to post cash bail are increasingly deploying a new tactic: Bailing out strangers. Community groups are collecting donations from individuals, churches, cities and other organizations in more than a dozen cities, including New York, Chicago, Seattle and Nashville, to bail out indigent prisoners.
