The Prison Policy Initiative is a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy organization based in Easthampton, Massachusetts, that conducts research on the harms of mass criminalization and works to spark advocacy campaigns for a more just society. It operates in the public policy sector and employs between 11 and 50 people. The organization produces research findings and translates them into advocacy and policy reform efforts. Recent activity includes a 2025 collaboration with the MacArthur Justice Center to develop Principles for Parole Reform, a 2025 tracking tool launch to illuminate conditions behind bars, and the Jail Data Initiative's work to compile jail roster data. Earlier, in 2020, Rainbow PUSH Coalition partnered with the Prison Policy Initiative to issue a 50-state report on voting from jail.
