The prison population in Wisconsin has more than tripled since 1990. Wisconsin has the highest black male incarceration rate in the country. Half of African American men in their 30s in Milwaukee County have been in state prison. Incarceration is expensive and comes with additional social costs. We can keep people out of prison:
Join our work to:

Increase funding for Treatment Alternatives and Diversions (TAD). A 2012 study showed that by fully funding the state’s Treatment Alternatives and Diversions fund, Wisconsin could keep 3,000 people per year out of the state’s prisons, and more than 27,000 from ever going to jail.
Reform Wisconsin’s sentencing laws. Inordinately long prison sentences do nothing to enhance safety, they are extremely costly, and they reduce the odds that the offender will be successfully re-integrated back into the community when she/he is released.
Keep all 17 year-olds in the juvenile system.

Please join our work to greatly reduce the use of solitary confinement. More than 15 days in solitary confinement is torture. It magnifies mental health issues and destroys people. Other states and nations have learned to get by without it, we can too. *Formerly called the Solitary Confinement Task Force

Join this statewide call which discusses our work to:

End crimeless revocations. The largest number of people entering Wisconsin prisons are actually re-entering prison. About 4,000 prison admissions each year are people who have not been convicted of a new crime.
Open the doors of opportunity through Ban the Box legislation, reform of the CCAP on-line database, changes in rules for public housing, financial aid for college, and more.
Welcome formerly incarcerated people back to the community and ensure that formerly incarcerated people have a voice in the community and in matters that affect them. They ought to have back their right to vote, and to be heard.
Usually meets 4th Thursday of the month
