Dover Post — Prosecutors — Galsworthy Criminal Justice Reform Program

Prosecutors

Currently, prosecutors in both the juvenile and adult criminal justice systems have too much discretion in pressing charges, determining what sentences are sought, and negotiating plea deals. Trial by jury is a key tenant of the American criminal justice system, but heightened prosecutorial power significantly reduces the power and frequency of a trial by peers. Attempts at sentencing reform must address largely unchecked prosecutorial discretion.

Kathleen Jennings: Attorney General

“Over 90% of the individuals who are incarcerated in Delaware will return to their communities and will be our neighbors once again. I believe we have an obligation to give these individuals the tools necessary to exit the system better people than when they entered. I firmly believe that by providing inmates with job training and career resources while incarcerated, they will be better positioned to find a job that can be a career when they return home“
