Watch Tricia de Beer, co-chair of our Criminal Justice Roundtable (CJRT) on Fox News advocating for driver’s license restoration. The CJRT, along with partner organizations, is working to address the problem in Guilford County which has the highest number of suspended licenses in the state.

Mission

The Criminal Justice Roundtable supports a criminal justice system that will result in a reduction in the rate of incarceration that has increased over the past several decades while minimizing crime and maximizing the safety of our communities. Currently our main focus centers on two issues: Driver’s license restoration and Cash Bail.

MORE ABOUT PURPOSE

Driver's License Restoration

Driver’s License Restoration refers an effort to return driver’s privileges to over 40,000 Guilford County residents who have lost them due to inability to pay court costs.
