IMPACT JUSTICE

Impact innovationsprojects in impact innovations offer new, groundbreaking ideas to accelerate justice system change through a wide range of programming including research, direct service, community partnerships and more. Innovation projects include the rac, food justice work, and other emerging programs. The rac partners with community service providers, government agencies, and key stakeholders across the country to research, evaluate, and support implementation of the most effective and innovative practices. Recognizing the ways in which intersecting layers of marginalization can compound adverse system impacts, the rac maintains a critical focus on racial and ethnic disparities and the impacts of sexual orientation and gender identity and expression throughout every stage of the research process. Growing justice & food justice programs are designed to tackle two problems at once: the striking lack of fresh, healthy food in prison and in the lower income communities most incarcerated people come from and return to.
