Criminal Justice

We’re building a coalition of D.C. area employers who provide employment opportunities for formerly incarcerated people.

We convened justice system stakeholders to make recommendations to lower incarceration rates by half, end the over-incarceration of Black people, regain local control over D.C.’s criminal legal system, and replace D.C.’s archaic jail with a more humane facility.

We publish an annual report on D.C.’s justice system, covering issues including violence and policing, prosecution and the courts, adult incarceration, re-entry, and youth justice.

We are dedicated to ensuring that residents held in D.C. custody live in safe environments and receive the healthcare and rehabilitative services they need.
