The Coalition for Smart Justice is a statewide coalition of organizations and individuals who take collective action to advocate for a criminal justice system that fosters public safety by reducing mass incarceration, recidivism, and racial disparities in the system. The Coalition has two primary goals: (1) Cut the prison population in half and (2) challenge the racial disparities in the system.
