CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM THROUGH POLICY CHANGE
Advocating for positive change in Iowa laws and public policy while giving you a voice in the larger legislative process.
Citizens Reducing Mass Incarceration
Iowa Justice Action Network takes a stance on several issues. We share our position and the data used to determine our views to help educate the public.
Death Penalty
Learn about our stance on the Death Penalty and why we oppose the reintroduction of the Death Penalty in Iowa.
Alternatives to Incarceration
Policy decisions over the past 50 years by the State of Iowa and Federal Government resulted in extremely high incarceration rates.
Sentencing Policies
Our stance on sentencing policies for non-violent offenses helps reduce the number of problems for our citizens.
