Our Mission and Vision



Mission Statement

The Task Force on Money, Education, and Prisons will focus public attention and encourage public action:

  • To reverse the numbers of incarcerated persons,
  • To shift public priorities from prison spending to education, programs for prevention and treatment, and community-based alternatives to incarceration that are humane, cost-effective and preserve public safety, and
  • To reduce the disproportionate impact of our criminal justice system on people of color, people in poverty, people of little education, and people with mental illness.

Our Vision

The Task Force on Money, Education and Prisons envisions a Restorative Justice System rooted in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which holds the Community, the Offender and the Victim all accountable for re-establishing just relationships in the Community when they are damaged by the violence of individual, economic or political actions.
