Sign the petition to support second chances
Mississippi has the third highest incarceration rate in the country. Our prisons are dangerously understaffed. People often leave prison no better than when they went in, struggle to find work, and end up re-arrested.
By safely reducing our prison population, prioritizing solutions that reduce crime, and removing barriers to work, we can fix the broken parts of our justice system to create safer communities for everyone.
