Campaign for Smart Justice Delaware

The Campaign for Smart Justice in Delaware has two major goals: Cut prison population in half & challenge racial disparities in the criminal justice system.

With the 152nd General Assembly coming to an end, take a look at a quick snapshot of what we accomplished, what’s left to be done, and how you can join us.

UPDATE --- It is the end of legislative session in Delaware, and many important bills passed that should make us all proud, however, one major bill disappointingly did not pass: Senate Bill 4. This landmark legislation would have made significant changes to the probation system.

[Campaign for Smart Justice Delaware @SmartJusticeDE]

Urge state legislators to pass SS 3 for SB 4 to eliminate systemic barriers that prevent those recently released from prison from successful reentry.

There's less than one month left of the 2024 legislative session, but for over 10,000 Delawareans returning home after incarceration, the hurdles to successful reentry remain substantial.

SPOTLIGHT: Our Campaign for Smart Justice launched in 2021. Since then, our Smart Justice Ambassadors have advocated for legislation, policies, and initiatives to reduce the prison population and challenge racial disparities within the justice system.

State of the State of Corrections Summit & Resource Fair today!

90% of Delawareans surveyed agree that a person’s economic means should not limit their opportunity for a second chance.

Delaware's Clean Slate laws, set to begin in August, provide a streamlined, automated process that applies to records eligible for mandatory expungement.

[Clean Slate Delaware @CleanSlateDE]

Our next Community Solutions Conversation at Kingswood Community Center is on Tuesday, February 27th.

Join us to discuss solutions to ensure Clean Slate's implementation, learn about the automated expungement process, and more!

It's clear that Delaware needs to eliminate systemic barriers that prevent those recently released from prison from successful reentry into our communities.
