#cut50 is a national initiative to reduce the prison population while making our communities safer. Our campaigns are led by people who have been directly impacted by the justice system and want to create change.

Unaffordable cash bail is the single most preventable driver of mass incarceration in the United States, accounting for all jail growth in the past 20 years and exacerbating racial disparities in every corner of the criminal justice system.

The United States has 5 percent of the world’s population but 25 percent of its prisoners. … mass incarceration has crushing consequences: racial, economic, social. We fight to reduce the number of people unnecessarily behind bars at the state and federal level. And we advocate for alternatives to prison and changes to sentencing laws that better align our approach to punishment with the goal of rehabilitation.

The Criminal Justice Policy Coalition is a member-based, non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of effective, just, and humane criminal justice policy in Massachusetts. We seek to accomplish this by expanding the public discourse on criminal justice, promoting dialogue and cooperation among diverse stakeholders, and building support for policies that better protect our communities, promote accountability and change for offenders, and provide restitution to victims.

Together with our partners, we're the largest national effort working to make our criminal justice system smarter, fairer, and more cost-effective at the federal, state, and local level.

The goal of these efforts is to reduce unnecessary pretrial detention while improving the rate of court appearances and enhancing public safety.
