Haiti Is Falling.
We Have to Say Something.
This is the worst thing I have seen on Earth — a single jail cell holding three times the people it was built for, in the same country where children eat dirt cookies for five cents because there is nothing else.

I Will Fund the Peace Workers
I have watched a lot of suffering in my work. I have never seen anything like what is in that video. A single cell. Three times the human beings it was built for. No trial. No timeline. No water.
In the same country, children buy mud cookies for five cents — dirt pressed with salt and fat — because the alternative is starving. Haiti has fallen. The institutions meant to hold it together have been overwhelmed, corrupted, or outgunned.
I will personally fund any credible peace-mission advocate, NGO operator, prison-reform organization, or release-and-reintegration program that can get prisoners out of those conditions and put food in front of those families. This is not a grant application with a six-month review process. Send me your plan. If it is real and executable, the work gets paid.

Free Our Brothers From That Cell
Brothers and sisters — we have to free our brothers in Haiti who are stuck forty-eight people in a single jail cell. Watch as little of the next clip as you need to rise to action, because what is shown is repulsively evil. There is no legal basis for it. Eighty-two percent of these men have never been tried.[1]

My mission, as of the moment of writing this, is to source experienced foreign operators — Colombian-conflict veterans, former combat medics, peacekeeping advisors who have done humanitarian-escort work — and put them on the ground in Haiti to walk those prisoners out of those conditions legally and alive.
Does anyone have a better idea? If you do, send it. I am open. The constraint is simple: people inside that cell are dying right now — fifty-two confirmed in a single three-month window (Jul–Sep 2025).[1] Whatever plan beats that outcome is the plan I will fund.

Aid Relief Escort
Humanitarian escort is a real, established category of work. The International Committee of the Red Cross, Médecins Sans Frontières, and specialist firms like GardaWorld and RedR International routinely move detainees, civilians, and aid convoys through hostile environments under documented protective-security doctrine.[11] The mission is legal, the operators exist, and Haiti needs them now.
Megabyte Labs Mission is sourcing the people, capital, and legal cover required to extract pre-trial detainees from the National Penitentiary into supervised release under Haitian and international law. We need partners across the five categories below. If you fit any of them, the form on this page is the fastest way in.
Who We Need
If you fit any of the five categories above, use the form below. Tell us your role, your jurisdiction, and your deployable window. Real plans get funded. The clock is on the people inside that cell.
Submit Your Peace Mission
Working in Haiti, or willing to deploy there? Security consultant, lawyer, medic, NGO operator, foundation funder — describe your role and your plan. Be specific: people, locations, deployable window, measurable outcomes. If it is credible and executable, funding follows.
