We Are Reimagining What Justice Can Be.

A just system requires three things: people who can heal, practitioners who can lead with humanity, and systems capable of restoration.

We help justice-impacted individuals reclaim agency and potential.

We support practitioners in corrections, diversion, and reentry as they align with their purpose, honor humanity, and sustain their leadership.

And we strengthen the systems they serve — building structures and strategies that restore lives, reduce harm, and increase dignity, safety, and accountability.

Our work targets the core drivers of transformation across the criminal legal system:

  • reducing “us vs. them” dynamics

  • strengthening ethical and strategic decision-making

  • increasing fairness and humanity-centered practice

  • embedding policies that honor the dignity of every person

At DCC, we build that ecosystem.

One of my biggest takeaways, I learned how to use my strengths in my every day work.

What Criminal Legal Organizations Gain Through DCC Labs & Accelerators

    •  Leaders who can navigate trauma-saturated environments, prevent burnout, and remain grounded under pressure.

    • Reduced harm to human dignity, improved communication, and healthier staff–resident interactions driven by trauma-informed, values-aligned practice.

    • Stronger bridges across custody, diversion, reentry, and oversight bodies, creating continuity for both staff and justice-impacted individuals.

    • Improved leadership confidence, clarity, and resilience — strengthening recruitment, retention, and long-term institutional stability.

Restorative Pathways: Re-Entry Leadership Accelerator (The RLA)

For justice-impacted individuals: returning from incarceration, diversion, and individuals living in correctional facilities

Justice-impacted individuals face the dual challenge of navigating complex systems while reclaiming dignity, purpose, and leadership in their communities. The RLA is a cohort program.

Unlike traditional re-entry programs that focus narrowly on compliance or survival, the RLA equips participants:

  • With the skills, confidence, and resilience to thrive as leaders in their own lives, workplaces, and communities

  • Restore identity and personal worth to create sustainable pathways for personal and career long-term success

  • Deepen trust and collaboration between re-entry participants and justice system leaders (when run in partnership)

    • Conscious leadership for life and community success

    • Build workforce skills: communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and navigating authority systems

    • Peer Leadership Consultancy Groups (“mini-circles” for practicing problem-solving together)

    • Each participant shares their growth story, personal strategic plan, and vision for impact

    • Each person receives personal coaching for deeper individualized support

  • Upon successful completion of the program, each person will earn a certificate of completion and LinkedIn badge to display on their profile.

Launch a Cohort

After participating in the conscious leadership course, 100% of individuals in custody agreed, the facilitator created a welcoming and respectful environment, feel the program is helpful for their future, and would recommend the program to someone else.
