We develop new forms of accountability that support a better future for all.
Too often, traditional responses to crime focused on punishment lead to cycles of harm, making it harder for people to repair their lives and leaving us all less safe in the long run. We partner with courts in New York, New Jersey, and around the country to center the dignity and humanity of every individual by connecting people to life-changing services, addressing underlying challenges, and building pathways out of the legal system. With compassionate responses that prioritize each person’s individual needs, we reduce incarceration while fostering accountability and a safer future for all.
