General Info

The Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition ( CCJRC ) is a non-profit organization that was formed to halt the exponential growth in the state prison population. CCJRC believes that we are currently overusing incarceration and that a comprehensive reevaluation of current criminal justice policy is necessary. We advocate for the expansion of funding for treatment, alternatives to incarceration, and reintegration services to people leaving prison. We also unconditionally oppose the use of for-profit prisons in Colorado. CCJRC was founded in 1999 and currently consists of over 100 diverse organizations and faith communities and over 4, 800 individuals from across the state.
