Why is this work needed?
The United States incarcerates more than any other country in the world.
The United States has the highest incarceration rate and largest prison population in the world. According to the Prison Policy Initiative, roughly 2.4 million people are incarcerated in the US, with 1.36 million in state prisons, 720,000 in local jails, and 210,000 in federal prisons.
Recidivism is expensive.
In the United States, 76.6 percent of released prisoners were rearrested within five years. According to the Center for American Progress, criminal recidivism reduces annual GDP by $65 billion a year. Moving to a less punitive criminal justice system in which prisoners have access to more educational and job-training opportunities would reduce recidivism, and, by expanding the labor force, boost the economy.
Incarceration hurts family.
More than five million kids in the U.S. have had a parent in jail or prison at some point during their childhood. Over-incarceration tears families apart without making us safer.
“Success is not final; failure is not fatal:
It is the courage to continue that counts.”
Winston Churchill
