Join SURJ!

SURJ is a statewide, grassroots organization dedicated to reforming Delaware’s criminal justice system. We are committed to educating policymakers, our 3,000 members, and the public-at-large of measures proven to ensure a higher quality of justice, promote public safety, and reduce corrections costs.

Delaware's prisons are overcrowded; far too high a percentage of offenders released from prison end up back inside; and we spend too much money to put too many people behind bars while failing to take advantage of more effective, more just, and less costly alternatives to incarceration.

To address these challenges SURJ members advocate for: sentencing reform, particularly for non-violent offenders; increased access to quality substance abuse and mental health treatment; and the successful reentry of ex-offenders into the community.
