CENTER FOR COURT INNOVATION
The Center for Court Innovation (CCI) exists to achieve a justice system that is fair, effective, and humane. We work with both government and communities to develop and run programs that have reduced the use of incarceration, increased equity, and strengthened neighborhoods by increasing safety and economic opportunity. We perform original research to identify what works. And we share what we learn from our programming and research with those seeking to transform the justice system around the world.
BROOKLYN JUSTICE INITIATIVES
The Brooklyn Justice Initiatives (BJI) is the largest operating branch or "project" of the Center for Court Innovation and serves as a launching pad for an array of reform initiatives that seek to fundamentally transform the bail system, sentencing, and the way justice-involved individuals are treated. By providing meaningful pre-trial supervised release and post-plea sentencing options, BJI seeks to use an arrest as a window of opportunity to change the direction of a participant’s life and avoid the harmful effects of incarceration.
