Just looked “decarceral” up in my (old, 1963) Webster’s dictionary, and it’s not there.
I have a pretty good vocabulary, but have no clue what the word means.
Maybe, it’s just short—well, actually long—for DUMB!

The word “carceral” can be found by a search. (I had to look it up too.) It means pertaining to prison. I am going to take a swing at this and opine that what she is saying is that a decarceral prosecutor is one who opposes sending people to prison.

My feeling on this is that she would try hard not to file charges in the first place, or reduce them if she did, and she would try to keep people from being sent to prison if they were convicted.
