In a self-imposed Sisyphean task, the team at Measures for Justice travels the U.S. unearthing, collecting and publishing criminal justice data.
The nonprofit’s mission is to create a national system of performance measurements of local criminal justice systems—from arrest to post-conviction—in each of America’s 3,141 boroughs, counties, independent cities, parishes and the District of Columbia.
Even though they are collecting digital files, Measures for Justice visits sheriffs’ and prosecutors’ offices in teams of two to find data and build trust.
