Prison Policy Initiative
Prison Policy (PPI) is non-profit, non-partisan. Prison Policy Initiative produces cutting edge research to expose the broader harm of mass criminalization, and then sparks advocacy campaigns to create a more just society.
he Prison Policy Initiative was founded in 2001 to document and publicize how mass criminalization undermines our national welfare. Through groundbreaking research, innovative media work, and cross-sector organizing, the Prison Policy Initiative is changing the debate about the U.S. criminal justice system. Our team has grown to four dedicated staff members who, a long with student interns and volunteers, shape national reform campaigns from our office in Western Massachusetts.
