Library
Links and documents to provide a general overview of the criminal process, from arrest to reentry, with a primary focus on the time immediately following the arrest. In addition to resources for attorneys and advocates, the folder contains resources helpful to arrested individuals and their family members, including information on posting bail, finding a lawyer, and finding court dates, and what to expect post-arrest. It also contains glossaries of legal terms for non-lawyers, and handbooks for family members.
