Indigent Defense
It is imperative for the court system to deal humanely with those who are convicted of crimes in Texas. The state has historically fallen behind the rest of the nation in investments toward providing just representation for those who are accused of crimes and unable to afford legal representation.
Restorative Justice
Restorative justice seeks to repair the damage and bring healing to all involved, including the victim, the offender, the families, and the community. Many faith communities provide care and services to ex-offenders, creating a bridge back into society.
Wrongful Conviction
The issue of wrongful conviction is an important part of the criminal justice discussion. Advocates seek to discover what causes it, solve systemic problems that contribute to the issue, and to redress the wrongful convictions that have already occurred in Texas.
