CJCJ’s research focuses on sentencing and correctional reforms that strengthen community safety. Our team investigates conditions in state prisons and county jails. We highlight institutional failures and the need for broader reform. We also track criminal justice sentencing practices that disproportionately impact people of color.
Since 1986, CJCJ has conducted research on innovative community-based alternatives to incarceration. We investigate programs that best support formerly incarcerated people reentering their communities. These models build a foundation for successful reentry by addressing people’s diverse needs.
Below you will find our research and reports on adult prisons, sentencing, and transformative community programs for justice-involved individuals.
