Work in the States
The Council of State Governments Justice Center is working with a handful of states to implement justice reinvestment strategies. These states are designing policies to manage the growth of the corrections system, improve the accountability and integration of resources concentrated in particular communities, and reinvest a portion of the savings generated from these efforts to make communities receiving the majority of people released from prison safer, stronger, and healthier. This section is intended for state policymakers, criminal justice practitioners, and other stakeholders responsible for determining corrections and sentencing policies.
The justice reinvestment project is in the process of identifying other states to add to the select number of jurisdictions receiving technical assistance to pursue justice reinvestment strategies.
