The criminal legal system is fundamentally broken. Justice remains out of reach for most people who encounter it. Restoring trust in this system will require meaningful reforms like those we are actively pursuing.
Strategic Initiatives
CLEAN SLATE FUND
Clearing up a criminal record can be difficult and confusing. We help people determine if they are eligible and guide them through the process, start to finish.
COMMUNITY BAIL FUND
Like similar funds across the country, our bail fund helps illustrate the unfairness of money bail. It is currently available to clients of the Shelby County Public Defender’s Office.
COURT WATCH
See for yourself what goes on inside the criminal legal system. Watchers record their observations to share with the community.
