About Us

PJI is a New Orleans-based nonprofit that works to create positive change for people in the Louisiana criminal system. Our work is at the intersection of direct services, impact litigation, policy advocacy, and community engagement.

We work in the incarceration capital of the world, and primarily with people living in prisons.

We believe in a world where our legal system values each person, supports rehabilitation, and approaches justice with a lens of healing and restoration for those who are harmed. This world will be safer and more secure for all people. We focus on the inhumane conditions of confinement, prosecutorial misconduct, racial bias, excessive sentences, the impacts of Jim Crow and slavery on our criminal laws, and the abolition of the death penalty.
