Petition to End Mass Incarceration

The Growth of Incarceration in the United States: Exploring Causes and Consequences reported: “The U.S. penal population of 2.2 million adults is by far the largest in the world. Just under one-quarter of the world’s prisoners are held in American prisons. The U.S. rate of incarceration, with nearly 1 out of every 100 adults in prison or jail, is 5 to 10 times higher than the rates in Western Europe and other democracies. The U.S. prison population is largely drawn from the most disadvantaged part of the nation’s population: mostly men under age 40, disproportionately minority, and poorly educated.” 

We ask that you sign this petition. To show your support for criminal justice reform and to help incarcerated people find legal representation to fight for their freedom!
