RISING (Revolutionizing the Incarceration System Generations)

RISING (Revolutionizing the Incarceration System Generations) is an initiative aimed at transforming the criminal justice system to promote fairer, more effective outcomes. It focuses on reducing incarceration rates, addressing root causes of crime like poverty and mental health issues, and implementing rehabilitative approaches instead of solely punitive measures. The goal is to create a system that emphasizes prevention, rehabilitation, and reintegration, fostering safer communities and greater social equity. RISING advocates for policy reforms grounded in evidence and human dignity, aiming for a more just and humane approach to justice that benefits individuals and society as a whole.
