Re-Entry Resources and Expungements

Justice System Reform

The Southern Coalition for Social Justice believes no one is the sum of their worst mistakes. Since 2018, we've launched a wide-ranging initiative focused on helping individuals with criminal records navigate the re-entry process and ensure their records are expunged so they may economically and socially better their lives.

People seeking SCSJ's re-entry or criminal record resources can access them through this central page. Questions? Please contact Tanita Holmes, SCSJ's Counsel for Justice System Reform, at tanita@scsj.org.
