Overview

Criminal Justice

The U.S. has 4% of the world’s population, but 20% of the world’s prisoners. The racial makeup in our prisons is also disproportionate. Black people represent 14% of the U.S. adult population, but 39% of the prison population, while white individuals make up 75% of the adult population and 57% of prisoners. Donors can play a critical role in advancing criminal justice reform, from ending mass incarceration to addressing disparities.
