About the Justice Program
The DR Fund’s Justice program supports initiatives and efforts to ensure more humane policies within detention systems and, preferably, to dramatically reduce the number of people incarcerated in favor of more just and equitable alternatives that provide healing to crime victims’ families and truly safer communities. We are especially interested in grassroots organizing, power building, and effective advocacy efforts to advance decarceration policies on a national scale.
