Alabamians for Fair Justice is a coalition of individuals directly impacted by the criminal justice system and supporting organizations united to advance bold, evidence-based solutions to Alabama’s prison crisis. This organization advocates for ending over-criminalization, over-incarceration, and racial disparities in the justice system. Alabamians for Fair Justice is dedicated to re-shaping public opinion, organizing stakeholders for action, and changing laws. They advocate for shifting priorities away from reliance on costly, harmful, and ineffective punishments and towards restorative justice, rehabilitative programming and accountability. In addition, they suggest solutions to the Alabama policymakers on issues such as punishment must be proportionate to crime, drug addiction and serious mental illnesses must be recognized as public health concerns with needs that should be addressed outside of the justice system, to invest in community supervision and diversion programs that do not restrict access based on ability to pay. In addition, returning citizens must be seen with dignity and provided opportunities to succeed through well-resourced reentry programs that provide the economic, emotional, and rehabilitative support necessary following incarceration in Alabama’s chaotic prisons.
