👉 The Penalty Project is an initiative aimed at addressing and mitigating the disproportionate impact of the criminal justice system on marginalized communities, particularly Black and Brown individuals. It focuses on implementing reforms to reduce incarceration rates, improve conditions within prisons, and ensure fairer sentencing practices. By advocating for policy changes, providing legal aid, and fostering community-based alternatives to incarceration, the Penalty Project seeks to create a more equitable justice system that prioritizes rehabilitation over punishment and addresses systemic biases.
