CJCJ promotes balanced and humane criminal justice policies that reduce society's reliance on incarceration and promote long-term public safety for all. We work to reduce society's reliance on incarceration as a solution to social problems. The Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice (CJCJ) is a private nonprofit organization whose mission is to reduce society's reliance on incarceration as a solution to social problems. This is achieved through the provision of programs to persons facing imprisonment, education efforts about imprisonment and its effect on individuals and communities, and technical assistance to jurisdictions and entities wishing to establish and/or evaluate programs working with those facing imprisonment.
