Mission
The Stanislaus County Public Defender recenters the scales of justice for our community through the empowerment of our clients, fierce legal defense, and boundless advocacy.
Values
The Stanislaus County Public Defender strives to represent our clients and community in line with our shared values:
Dignity: Creating space for our clients to share their narratives and stories so we may embed our advocacy with their unique perspectives.
Integrity: Honesty, transparency and equity in service of our clients, their families and our community is foundational to creating systemic changes.
Tenacity: We provide strong, unrelenting and zealous defense to confront the harm of the criminal legal system.
Vision
The Stanislaus County Public Defender holistically advocates for our clients to reduce the harm of the carceral cycle. We elevate our clients legal representation, strengthen partnerships with our community, and work to help our clients meet their goals outside the courtroom. Through our representation we demand accountability in the criminal legal and social service systems. By enabling client and community empowerment, we change the narratives about public safety and pursue equitable justice.
- The Criminal Docket Finder was developed in accordance with Marsy’s Law to provide victims with information on the defendant’s appearance at public proceedings.
- The Inmate locator provides information regarding arrested and in-custody persons in Stanislaus County and reflects the most recent information know to the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Department.
- The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) provides this inmate locator as a public service to promote public safety and welfare while giving access to selected offender information. This website is provided as an informational service only and does not constitute, and should not be relied upon as, an official record of CDCR.
