The Present and Future of Probation in DE

January 11, 2024 @ 6:00 pm

This event will also be held on Thursday, January 25 at the Lewes Public Library. View event

Delaware’s probation system is driving incarceration rates, and not by new crimes, but minor probation violations. Instead of probation focusing on the rehabilitation and support of returning citizens, it works more like a revolving prison door for those caught in a broken system. 

Join us on Thursday, January 11 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the New Castle Public Library to learn more about navigating Delaware's broken probation system directly from individuals with lived experiences. This conversation will provide insight into the challenges people on probation and their families face after incarceration, and the solutions needed to fix Delaware's broken probation system like SB 4— new legislation that aims to eliminate systemic barriers that prevent those recently released from prison from successfully rejoining society. 

Registration is encouraged. This event is in partnership with Delaware CAN.
