Providing Proven and Cost-Effective Answers that Address Texas' Over-Reliance on Incarceration

This project advocates for criminal justice policy solutions that decrease costly jail and prison overcrowding, strengthen communities, increase public safety, and save taxpayers money. We promote alternatives to incarceration and other practices that strengthen accountability and efficiency within the criminal justice system.

Through educational outreach at the county and state levels, TCJC promotes efficient probation and parole strategies, increased resources for community-based diversion programs, treatment options for substance abuse and mental health problems, and policies that address poor conditions of confinement, as well as other strategies that reduce the number of individuals in confinement.
