Community Partners in Action, a mid-sized nonprofit based in Hartford, Connecticut, traces its roots back nearly 150 years to advocate for criminal justice reform and uphold the dignity of people affected by incarceration. The organization operates a range of programs, including reentry and housing support, youth initiatives, a Prison Arts Program that is nationally recognized, and holistic alternatives to incarceration, aiming to generate long-term, positive change for individuals and communities. Its work focuses on people touched by the criminal justice system and seeks to address reintegration and social equity through these offerings. In 2023, CPA signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Thammasat University, marking a cross-institutional collaboration as part of its ongoing initiatives. The Prison Arts Program is scheduled to present the Prison Arts Annual Show 2025 at the Art Gallery at Eastern Connecticut State University in Willimantic from December 8, 2025, through February 28, 2026.
