Our Work
-
BetaGov
BetaGov helps public agencies and nonprofits to develop and test new practices. We are learning how to foster a culture of learning.
-
Carceral Conditions
We engage with the people who work and live in correctional facilities to reduce harms by improving conditions of confinement—transforming the physical environment, improving staff interactions and practices, applying data analytics, revising policies and processes, and testing innovations.
-
Decarceration
We develop, test, and evaluate policies and programs to reduce excessive incarceration and promote public safety.
-
Education
We help schools and edtech nonprofits learn how to meet their students’ goals—identifying and testing novel practices and leveraging data to provide timely insights.
-
Incarceration and Families
Our Family-Based Justice Center supports local efforts to keep justice-involved families together and promote public safety.
-
Policing
We partner with law enforcement to identify challenges and test policies and practices that promote public safety, community relations, and officer wellness.
-
Ready Data
Our ReadyData initiative seeks actionable insights to help public agencies, policymakers, and nonprofits make faster and better, data-driven decisions.
-
Reentry and Community Supervision
From pretrial supervision to post-prison reentry, we seek to improve outcomes for justice-involved people and promote public safety.
-
Substance Use Disorders
We implement and collaborate on projects that address substance use disorders across the justice spectrum, from prevention strategies to treatment practices.
-
Trauma and Violence
We develop, implement, test, and expand approaches to build more resilient, safer communities and address individual and community trauma.
-
Veterans
We engage with correctional agencies to assess the prevalence of veterans in their systems and the value of specialized services.
-
Virtual Reality
We provide vulnerable populations access to the emerging technology of virtual reality, by creating and testing content.
-
Women in the Justice System
We develop metrics and tools to assess gender-responsive policies and programs that meet the particular needs and challenges of women in the justice system.
