Delaware's Court Fines & Fees: A Modern Debtor's Prison?
(Second of a 2-part series)
Wednesday, December 9th, 2020 @ 7:00 pm
We would like to think “debtor’s prison” is a thing of the past. The Campaign to End Debtor’s Prison invites you to attend the second of our two-part series on Delaware’s fines and fees system, collateral consequences, potential solutions, and collaborative reforms. Join us as we learn more from our state officials and a national policy expert. Your voice is important in moving us forward in effective reforms!
If you missed November’s Part I Panel Discussion, you can view the Part 1 video recording and/or view the Part 1 PowerPoint presentation as background information on the issue.
