We could be using that $3.5 million to educate and support young people. Instead sheriffs are spending those resources to incarcerate young people.

That’s why we’re hosting a webinar on ‘Demand 2: Towards Freedom’ of our 7 Demands to Reimagine the Sheriff on Wed 10/22 @ 12pm safetybound.org/demands

Join us on Oct. 22 for a webinar with @prisonpolicy.org & local organizers to discuss how jail expansion happens and how we can stop it.

We’re demanding that sheriffs reduce jail populations, support alternatives to incarceration, and reject jail expansion.

Jail expansion drains public funds, harms communities, and doesn’t increase public safety - all while benefitting law enforcement budgets & private contractors who profit off of building new jails.

Jail populations have skyrocketed in recent decades. In response, sheriffs push to build new jails despite persistent issues with existing jails (inhumane conditions! staffing shortages!) and data showing that jail expansion only makes things worse.
