The Roadmap has two parts: a Policy Roadmap and an Implementation Roadmap.

The Policy Roadmap contains 11 policies and practices that apply to different parts of the pretrial system. They describe “what” your system should be doing if striving toward true pretrial justice, for instance, using citations in appropriate circumstances; diverting people pre- and post- charge; holding meaningful first appearances; and providing supportive pretrial services.

The Implementation Roadmap includes four strategies that are key to successfully implementing these policies and practices. This includes working with a collaborative team of system and community stakeholders, including people directly impacted by the pretrial system; communicating with the public; and measuring performance.
