Idaho Justice Project

IJP is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation working to improve Idaho’s criminal justice system, one project at a time. Idaho Justice Project empowers system-involved persons, in partnership with citizens, nonprofits, justice stakeholders, and government officials, to improve Idaho’s justice system using research and writing, organizing, public education, collaboration, and advocacy. Idaho Justice Project's mission is to reduce the size of the justice system, its costs, and the number of people in the system both now and in the future, reinvest those funds saved to community-based services to promote mental health and treatment services to prevent crime in the first place, and to rehabilitate individuals in prison using evidence-based programs to empower returning citizens to succeed.
