IRS990/Desc0The Prison Policy Initiative challenges over-criminalization and mass incarceration through research, advocacy and organizing. We show how the the United States excessive and unequal use of punishment and institutional control harms individuals and undermines our communities and national well-being. This years publications include an analysis of the ways that police and jails are misused to respond to social problems; a geography of incarceration report that maps down to the neighborhood level where incarcerated people in New York State are from; and a report on the importance of including people convicted of violent offenses in criminal justice reforms, among others. In the final months of the fiscal year, the organization focused on advocating for a humane response to the unprecedented threat of the COVID-19 pandemic on incarcerated people. Continued on Schedule O.
