Open Society Institute, Justice Fund

The Justice Fund embodies the on-going commitment of the Open Society Institute’s U.S. Programs to national criminal justice reform. The criminal justice priorities of the Justice Fund seek to reduce excessive incarceration and its consequences; promote fair and equal treatment in all phases of the U.S. criminal justice system; redirect public focus and resources away from punishment towards long-term investment in individuals and communities; and encourage policies for the successful reentry and reintegration of former prisoners that foster public safety and respect for human and civil rights, and promote responsible citizenship.
