In the fight against the death penalty, seeing the full picture counts.

Community Resource Initiative

Full Picture Justice (formerly known as CRI) is an anti-death penalty nonprofit resource center serving the people, families, and communities impacted by imprisonment.

We’ve changed our name to better reflect our mission, but nothing’s changed about the way we help legal defense teams stop executions. We bring the full story of our clients' lives into the courtroom—so judges, prosecutors and juries can see the full picture of their humanity.

Children with an incarcerated parent are more than three times as likely to have behavioral problems or depression and twice as likely to suffer from learning disabilities, ADHD, or anxiety.

RESIDENTIAL & FAMILY INSTABILITY

Families of incarcerated people are more likely to experience poverty, lower educational levels, and loss of livelihood.

Cycles of Incarceration

The socioeconomic impact of incarceration on communities increases the likelihood that more members of that community will become incarcerated.
