Changing the System

Unlock works tirelessly to improve the criminal justice system for people with criminal convictions.

Unlock believes in an ear to the ground, voices at the top approach. We hear directly from people experiencing prejudice, stigma and discrimination because of their criminal record, and then we use our influence to enact change at the highest level.
