Join community members from across California as we come together to stop the funding stream for new jails.
Over 40 of California’s 58 counties have plans to build new jails. While some of them claim to be for treatment or to just replace existing jails, we know we won’t be able to continue to pass sentencing reform or bring our loved ones home unless we stop building cages. These projects put our counties in fiscal jeopardy, and they also undercut the resources available for the life-affirming programs and services that can get people out of jails and keep them out. And with the passage of Prop.47 we know there is no need to build more jails!
Come to Sacramento and help us show that communities across the state are united: No New Jails!
