Center for Health and Justice Transformation

CHJT is dedicated to advancing improved outcomes through fair access to health care in the criminal legal system. People incarcerated in jails and prisons suffer higher rates of chronic medical conditions and behavioral health issues than the general population. They are disproportionately from underserved communities facing persistent barriers and largely come from communities where residents already report overall poor health and lack of access to care. The disparities we see in our health care system are mirrored in our criminal justice system.
