July 2025 CCE Newsletter

CCE, in partnership with the Office of the D.C. Auditor, released "Urgent Need for New D.C. Jail," an audit report that details dangerous and deteriorating conditions at the D.C. Jail between 2023 and 2024. This audit offers the most comprehensive review to date of facility operations, documenting a crisis marked by rising deaths, structural decay, staff shortages, and inadequate medical and behavioral health care. 

CCE issues a statement on Law Day 2025 reaffirming our commitment to and support of the rule of law and to our vision of a Washington, D.C. where individuals, organizations, and government work together to build safe and thriving communities with a trusted legal system that meets the needs of its people, protects their rights, and promotes dignity and justice for all.

In this issue: Welcoming probate reform, new ways to connect with CCE on social media, and an upcoming Second Chance Month event you won’t want to miss!
