Prison Policy Initiative uses research, public education, and advocacy to examine the effects of mass incarceration in the United States. It publishes reports, data, and visual resources about prisons, jails, policing, and the wider consequences of criminalization. Its work also addresses issues such as communication costs, family connections, racial disparities, and prison gerrymandering. The organization provides materials that journalists, advocates, policymakers, and the public can use to better understand these systems. Donations support independent research and outreach intended to inform debate and encourage change. Its goal is to make the scale and human impact of incarceration more visible and understandable.
