  • Keep people in correctional facilities safe and healthy 
  • Increase access to education for people in the juvenile and criminal justice systems 
  • Improve public safety and outcomes for youth in the juvenile justice system
  • Support people who have experienced or are at risk of domestic violence and sexual assault 
  • Support economic stability and mobility for people with criminal records
