Our mission
Our mission is to decrease the role and size of Delaware’s carceral and criminal legal systems and to innovate for fair and responsive government practices, using collaborative advocacy, education, and litigation.
Our Policy Priorities:
Eliminate court-imposed fines and fees that trap people in cycles of debt and punishment
End the criminalization of poverty by removing financial barriers to freedom and justice
Expand alternatives to incarceration that focus on restoration, support, and community well-being
Push for transparency and accountability in the justice system
Advocate for policies that center impacted people and invest in communities, not cages
