Who is the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition?

Our mission is to reverse the trend of mass incarceration in Colorado. We are a coalition of nearly 7,000 individual members and over 100 faith and community organizations who have united to stop perpetual prison expansion in Colorado through policy and sentence reform.

Our chief areas of interest include drug policy reform, women in prison, racial injustice, the impact of incarceration on children and families, the problems associated with re-entry and stopping the practice of using private prisons in our state.

New Nat. Institute of Corrections Website

Good catch by Michael at Corrections Sentencing on the new National Corrections Institute website on work programs for people who are being released.

The Offender Workforce Development Division (OWDD) was created to coordinate the efforts of Federal, state, local, and non-profit agencies to improve employment programs for offenders and ex-offenders. The division assists professionals who provide direct services to offenders and ex-offenders.
