Mission
The Criminal Justice Roundtable supports a criminal justice system that will result in a reduction in the rate of incarceration that has increased over the past several decades while minimizing crime and maximizing the safety of our communities. Currently our main focus centers on two issues: Driver’s license restoration and Cash Bail.
Driver's License Restoration
Driver's License Restoration refers an effort to return driver’s privileges to over 40,000 Guilford County residents who have lost them due to inability to pay court costs.
Cash Bail
Cash Bail covers all the issues that penalize people in the criminal justice system—even before trial—who cannot pay excessive fines and fees.
Meeting and Contact Information
Interested in reforming our criminal justice system to assure equitable treatment for all our citizens? Want to stop the criminalization of poverty? Due to COVID-19, we are not meeting in-person.
