Understanding the Legal Process

 Navigating the criminal justice system can feel overwhelming, confusing, and unfair—especially for those without resources or legal knowledge.

In this episode of Stories Behind the Walls, we break down the entire legal process step by step, from arrest to reentry. We cover:
✅ Arrest and booking
✅ First appearance and bail
✅ Preliminary hearings and grand jury
✅ Arraignment
✅ Plea negotiations
✅ Trial process
✅ Sentencing
✅ Appeals
✅ Prisoners' rights
✅ Reentry and parole challenges

We also talk about how systemic inequalities impact these stages, why knowing your rights matters, and what families can do to advocate for their loved ones.

This episode is part of our mission at Voices for Justice Inc. to demand accountability, transparency, and meaningful reform.

We hope you’ll listen, share, and join us in building a more just and informed community.

Don’t forget: we also host FREE virtual workshops to discuss civil rights and legal awareness—including our upcoming Civil Rights in Delaware workshop on Saturday, August 2 at 2 PM.
