More than 215,000 Detroiters have criminal records, the city estimates, and a projected 168,000 are eligible to have their record expunged. […] Detroiters do not seek expungement because they don't know they're eligible, they believe they need money for attorney fees, they have had negative experiences with the criminal justice system or the process is overwhelming, Shayla McElroy said. […] For Detroit residents interested in registering to have a criminal conviction considered for expungement, reach out to Project Clean Slate or email projectcleanslate@detroitmi.gov.
