Community Outreach Initiatives
-
The Deep Dive with the Dallas County Public Defender's Office facilitates meaningful conversations and promotes awareness regarding the justice system and other related hot topics in the community. Our goal is to educate, inform, and expose listeners to how the justice system works, and in doing so, help break the barriers that lack of information can create. We are eager to introduce information on a variety of topics from legal professionals, government officials, community organizers, social service providers and citizens navigating their way through life in the Metroplex.

The Dallas County Public Defender’s Office partners with the Juvenile Detention Center to work with adolescents and host a variety of art-based workshops to promote healing for individuals, strengthen communities, and increase accountability within the justice system.
-
The Dallas County Public Defender’s Office partners with the Resolana Program to bring creative programming into the Dallas County Jail. Resolana provides gender-specific programming to female offenders, beginning inside the Dallas County Jail and continuing through their re-entry into the community. Our goals are to increase readiness for change on the inside, to increase use of existing community resources on the outside and to reduce recidivism.
