About Safe & Just Michigan (formerly Citizens Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending, CAPPS)
 
For two decades the Citizens Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS) pursued evidenced-based research that played a pivotal role in the state and national debate on effective approaches to public safety and the over reliance on incarceration. In 2017, CAPPS decided it was time for a new name that clearly conveys the organization’s mission and vision. In the coming months, CAPPS will launch under the new name Safe and Just Michigan.
 
Safe & Just Michigan envisions a Michigan in which all are safe in their communities and everyone is responsible for creating accountability, safety and justice. We work to reduce the harm caused by both crime and unnecessary incarceration.
 
Safe & Just Michigan advances evidence-based reforms that can improve public safety and eliminate unnecessary and wasteful corrections spending. We conduct research, educate, advocate and mobilize support for smart investments in services and programs proven to reduce crime and promote healthy, thriving communities.
