A Prison Reform Advocate is an individual or group that works to improve the conditions and policies within the prison system. Their goal is to promote fair treatment, reduce overcrowding, and address issues such as mental health care and rehabilitation programs. Advocates often focus on the rights of inmates and aim to create a more just and effective criminal justice system.
These advocates may collaborate with organizations, lawmakers, and community members to raise awareness about the challenges faced by incarcerated individuals. They often support initiatives that seek to reduce recidivism and promote alternatives to incarceration, such as restorative justice and diversion programs.
