Toward Co-Designing a Better Criminal Justice System
Posted by Stanford Social Innovation Review (SSIR) on July 7, 2020
To improve public services like the justice system, social innovators need to co-design solutions with people who have experienced them and find ways to cut through the organizational barriers they faced.
In the United States, the criminal justice system is one of many public institutions whose workings span multiple jurisdictions. If you’ve been arrested and served jail time, it’s not uncommon to interact with more than 10 different organizations in the process. These often include federal, state, and local government entities; nonprofits; and private institutions. Moving through this system can feel like a series of detached actions and reactions, and impede even straightforward tasks, such as contacting a public defender.
