Prison Reform Advocacy Groups

Prison reform advocacy groups work to improve the justice system and the conditions in prisons. They aim to reduce incarceration rates, address issues like overcrowding and harsh sentencing, and promote rehabilitation over punishment. These organizations often campaign for changes in laws and policies, highlighting the impacts of imprisonment on individuals and communities. They may also focus on the needs of vulnerable populations, such as those with mental health issues or substance abuse problems, advocating for alternatives to prison and better support systems to reduce recidivism and crime rates.
