Safe Streets and Second Chances — Civil Society Issues — Galsworthy Criminal Justice Reform Program

Civil Society Issues

Many issues that are primary drivers of mass incarceration cannot be remedied through government solutions alone. Issues such as broken families and mental health, both forever altered by over criminalization, cannot be simply be repaired through legislation. Civil Society has the unique capability to address certain social issues that government cannot, or to address them more effectively than government can. This section also addresses issues in which over-policing attempts to fix issues that should be handled through the community.

New Prison Reform Partnership Begins in Pennsylvania

“Over the next few years, Safe Streets & Second Chances will assist Goodwill and the DOC with research and data analysis as Pennsylvania changes its methods for rehabilitation and reentry. The agency will work with incarcerated individuals from the day they enter the prison system through the months following their release to prepare them for reentering society. That work includes job training, mental health support, substance abuse treatment and other programs that prepare individuals to live outside of prison and never return.“
