There are many wonderful organizations that offer alternatives to incarceration. Here is a small list of some of our favorites.
We're honored to be featured in In Their Names: The Untold Story of Victims' Rights Mass Incarceration, and the Future of Public Safety. "This timely book reveals an explosive truth: mass incarceration—built in the names of crime victims—doesn’t serve their true interests. Instead of longer prison sentences, Lenore Anderson shows how most victims want and need a new approach to safety, rooted in healing, care, and redress. In Their Names deserves a wide audience, from policy-makers to ordinary citizens alike.” —James Forman Jr., Yale Law School professor and author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning Locking Up Our Own
