Challenges facing states
States face complex challenges in their efforts to protect public safety, reduce recidivism, respond to the unique needs of justice-involved individuals returning to communities from jail and prison, and improve services for victims of crime.
State policymakers are concerned about upticks in violent crime, high rates of recidivism, increases in overdose deaths, rebounding prison populations, and the need for quality mental health services. Public policy responses tested throughout the country, however, show there are effective ways to understand and address these concerns while ensuring public safety.
JRI solution
Through the Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI), state leaders work with experts to conduct agency-spanning data analysis; develop and implement data-driven, tailored solutions to address complicated criminal justice challenges; and maximize resources to achieve stronger and safer communities.

3moToday was NJ Primary and I just finished a 5:15 AM till 9PM pole worker job at our local district. The state is having trouble finding people to fill the open positions for now and fall’s election. Social media has negatively impacted the voters view of election expectations; for example I was asked if I was letting illegal aliens sneak in to vote??? Really? Distrust in the system is at an all time high and who is responsible for feeding false information? Has civic duty become a life threatening position?
