transformational justice

The principle aims of this campaign are:

• For Wisconsin to invest in the programs and strategies that will end the racial and economic disparities that fuel mass incarceration
• For Wisconsin to reduce its prison population to 11,000, and to reduce the number of people on extended supervision
• For Wisconsinites to view people who have been convicted of a crime as human beings, members of families, and assets to the community
• For formerly incarcerated people to be restored to full participation in communities, the economy, and civic life

RIC’s Transformational Task Force is currently working on attending various Racine County Circuit Court hearings to witness first-hand how our local system of justice is operating. In addition, we are educating ourselves on the legal system by attending training sessions conducted by outside groups doing advocacy work in this area as well as meeting with local attorneys and the Wisconsin State Public Defender’s office.
