"REHABILITATION PROGRAMS FOR OFFENDERS CAN BE MORE COST EFFECTIVE THAN INCARCERATION" OUR STRATEGIC PURPOSE IS TO REDUCE THE PERCENTAGE OF THOSE WHO RECIDIVATE!

Americans are guaranteed freedom of the press by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, however the negative state of the criminal justice system throughout the country is a topic which is vastly under reported. Many analytical studies show the three componets of criminal justice to be broken and in need of vast improvement. The billions of dollars spent in this area could support so many other social service projects that would benefit everyone. Only ten percent of those incacerated are wards of the federal government. The vast majority of resources are expended by the states. Restructuring the criminal justice accross the board must be one of the next major social reform projects. More strigent laws as tried in the past to eradicate this problem failed and can not be expected to bring a solution especially at this time.

Legal procedures and the way courts operate have been revised and reorginized but injustice remains. Injustice is an age old problem. In too many instances "justice" is available but depends on a person's ability to hire an expensive attorney.
