Derek Myles
Bail Disruptor
Derek is a Bail Disruptor at Operation Restoration. Under the direction of the Quality Care Innovator and in partnership with The Bail Project, he is a staff member committed to racial and economic justice. He is responsible for people’s release, disrupting the criminal legal system, and fighting mass incarceration.
Derek comes to Operation Restoration with eight years of experience at the Criminal Clerk’s Office, where he first learned about this organization. In his time there, he witnessed first-hand how one mistake could change people’s future. He believes that a person’s past shouldn’t define their future and that mistakes are to be learned from and not a sentence on who you are. Born and raised in Gerttown, Derek is a loving father of two children and his mother’s caretaker. He is excited to be a part of the Safety and Freedom Fund and bring his passion and experience to the team!
