Program areas at Prison Policy Initiative
The Prison Policy Initiative produces cutting-edge research to expose the broader harms of mass incarceration, and sparks advocacy campaigns to create a more just society. Our work is a unique combination of research, advocacy, and organizing, and is designed around two goals: achieving real change on specific issues, and building a national consensus around the fact that over-criminalization is hurting our entire society. This year our publications and reports focused on providing the reform movement with big picture data needed to combat calls for increased criminalization, policing, and incarceration as the pandemic has been lifted. This includes updates to the following reports: Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie, Womens Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie, and Punishment Beyond Prisons 2023: Incarceration and supervision by state.Statement of Program Services Accomplishments continued on SCH O Line 7:
