Fines and fees in the justice system often burden individuals significantly, making it harder for them to rebuild their lives. These financial obligations can lead to debt, job loss, and jail time. In many cases, the heaviest burdens fall on vulnerable populations, including low-income communities and people of color. Local policy reforms and data-driven initiatives are working to alleviate these burdens, like community courts that offer support for life challenges instead of relying on fines or jail time. Learn more about how a more fair justice system that supports people and strengthens communities can be built. https://lnkd.in/eKAvUMyg #CriminalJusticeReform #JusticeSystem #Insights
