Increasingly harsh criminal justice policies over the last three decades have resulted in a system that relies on over-criminalization, mass incarceration, and racial injustice.
The ACLU of Kansas has been and is currently ready to fight against injustice in our criminal legal system. In 2018, ACLU of Kansas launched our Reimagine Justice campaign in hopes of rectifying the systemic wrongs inflicted by our criminal legal system. But we also know Kansans and advocates across the state are already in the fight, and want to be a resource and partner in that work. To that end, the ACLU of Kansas has launched this System-Impacted Resource Hub to house various resources and information specifically for people who have been impacted by the criminal legal system—including voting rights post felony conviction and resources for housing and assistance.
Starting this year in 2024, updated and new Criminal Legal Reform resources will be available on this landing page. The ACLU of Kansas plans to continue to expand its Criminal Legal Reform resources in this location throughout the coming years.
