Prison Program

VISION
We seek a society and justice system that treats every human being with dignity.

MISSION
The Prison Program supports organizations and networks that seek to reduce U.S. society’s dependence on incarceration and particularly those who:

• Challenge constructions, such as race, class and gender, as structures of violence inherent in the current U.S. justice system and its institutions
• Promote and strengthen the leadership and activism of the most affected communities
• Invest their resources towards structural change within the justice system, in particular through public policy advocacy

PROGRAM GOALS

• Reduce the number of people incarcerated
• Expose and challenge human rights abuses of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people
