Due process is designed to give fair treatment to people who are accused and put through each step of the criminal justice system. Although the system is run by people who can make mistakes, due process is an effort to provide fairness with a step by step procedure that can correct a mistake at the next step or level.
Due Process is contained in the 5th Amendment in the US Constitution. It protects individuals from a trial unless that person is indicted by a Grand Jury. It also speaks to what is called Double Jeopardy. This means that a person who is found by a court of law to be innocent, cannot be retried for the same offense.
The 5th amendment and 14th amendments guarantee due process.
