Helping people get out & stay out of jail
We believe the criminal justice system in the United States is broken. Instead of working to improve outcomes, the system has prioritized punishment and incarceration over measurable, positive outcomes, leading to the highest rate of incarceration of any industrialized nation. The toll on individuals, families, and communities is enormous and growing. As criminal justice advocates, people of color, technologists, lawyers, and community members, we see the disastrous impact on families, neighborhoods, and the larger social fabric. We believe the system can be fixed. Across the nation, people from all walks of life—both inside and outside of government—are anxious for change. At Promise we believe that collectively, we can take steps that will make communities safer while reducing the cost of the criminal justice system to governments and to individuals, families, and communities.
