The ACLU and coalition partners wrote the Department of Justice expressing concerns with the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) continued delay in enforcing the Death in Custody Reporting Act of 2013 (DCRA).

In response to DOJ’s request for comments, the ACLU and 41 coalition partners wrote DOJ on its failure to enforce the Death in Custody Reporting Act and its plans to delay implementation of DCRA until Fiscal Year 2020, a full five years after it was signed into law and two years after DOJ last published its near-final DCRA compliance plan and guidelines.
