Chicago Justice Project is a nonprofit organization focused on increasing transparency within the United States criminal justice system to support fairness and accountability. Based in Chicago, Illinois, the organization aims to illuminate how justice processes function and to provide information that can inform public discourse and policy considerations. Its work is situated within the civic and social sector, with a goal of contributing to measurable improvements in how justice matters are understood and addressed by decision-makers and the community. The group engages in activities such as public reporting and civic research to help stakeholders, including policymakers, advocates, and the public, better evaluate justice-related issues. With a footprint in the civic sphere and a collaborative approach to addressing complex criminal justice questions, it operates alongside other organizations dedicated to justice and reform but emphasizes transparency as a core mechanism for accountability. A recent development involves launching a mayoral survey to gather candidates’ positions on important justice topics, illustrating an effort to inform voters and public debate during local elections.
