The Road Through the Criminal Process
A visual map of the entire journey, from initial investigation to life after custody.
This is the road most people walk. It runs in roughly the same order nearly every time, and you can see it end to end.
From the initial target letters and investigation through the forks of trial or plea negotiations, bond conditions, presentence calculations, custody terms, and eventually re-entry into life afterwards. Seeing the mechanics and steps helps demystify the fear and confusion.
