The Howard League for Penal Reform

The Howard League for Penal Reform is a charity in the UK focused on improving the criminal justice system. Founded in 1866, it advocates for reforms to reduce the use of imprisonment, promote rehabilitation, and address inequality in the system. The organization works to ensure that prisons prioritize education and support for inmates, aiming to reduce reoffending and help individuals reintegrate into society. By influencing policy and raising public awareness, the Howard League seeks to create a fairer, more effective approach to justice that prioritizes human rights and social welfare.
