CJI works with justice systems across the country, from statehouses to agencies to communities.
CJI works with state, local, and Tribal justice systems across the country, alongside the people who set policy, those who carry it out, those who monitor the system, and those directly affected by it. Explore CJI’s work below to see what CJI has done, who we worked with, and what changed.
By State
Explore data and evidence-based justice system support by state, including policy analysis, training and technical assistance, outcome measurement, and county and city engagements. CJI is adding state pages over time.
In states where CJI is engaged in a legislative session, the state page also includes evolving analysis of bills and key developments before, during, and after the session. Those states are marked below.
If you don’t see a state, CJI may still have worked there. Ask us.
- Louisiana
- Pennsylvania — active legislative session analysis
- Oklahoma— active legislative session analysis
- Nevada — active legislative session analysis
By Tribal Nation
Tribal Nations are sovereign governments with their own laws, courts, and priorities. CJI works with each nation on the justice questions it defines. Each nation’s page describes that work.

Nationally
National research and analysis on issues that cut across states and systems.
- Community supervision
- Community Supervision Conditions Nationwide: a landscape analysis of how conditions are imposed, enforced, and modified across states
- Identifying Drivers of Absconding examines why people abscond from community supervision—from substance use to excess conditions to transportation barriers—and what agencies can do to keep people on track.
- Promoting Success on Community Supervision assesses supervision practices across four states to identify what drives revocations and how agencies can safely reduce them.
- Behavioral health Behavioral Health Crisis Response Landscape Analysis: a look at how jurisdictions structure crisis response
- Pretrial What Really Prevents Court Appearance? surveys people who missed court to find out what actually drives failures to appear—and what courts can change.
- Public safety A Framework for Public Safety to Prepare for Elections gives law enforcement a nonpartisan plan for the election and post-election period, built with government, law enforcement, and legal partners.
