CJCJ is a non-profit nonpartisan organization whose mission is to reduce society’s reliance on incarceration as a solution to social problems. In pursuit of this mission, CJCJ provides direct services, technical assistance, and policy analyses that work in unison to promote a balanced and humane criminal justice system designed to reduce incarceration and enhance long-term public safety. In 2012, the agency merged with the San Francisco-based Northern California Service League (NCSL), a 64-year-old agency providing high-quality community-based reentry services to formerly incarcerated individuals.
