Join us for the Coalition for Parole Justice monthly meeting as we organize to end long-term and lifetime parole in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania has the highest number of people on lifetime parole in the nation despite evidence that creating off-ramps from parole is successful in many jurisdictions across the country.

We believe that parole is fundamentally an extension of mass incarceration and is a form of cruel and unusual punishment. More than half of the Pennsylvania prison population is currently incarcerated on a parole violation. The use of parole revocations is a key driver of mass incarceration in Pennsylvania.

The state spends hundreds of millions of dollars every year on unnecessary supervision, parole revocations, and re-incarceration of people who have not committed any new crimes. The Coalition for Parole Justice seeks to eradicate the use of long-term parole and lifetime parole that extends the carceral state into Black and Brown communities and continues cycles of incarceration.

This virtual meeting is held monthly to organize, network, and build momentum for a new parole bill that ends the unconstitutional practice of lifetime parole and long-term parole by creating a pathway to “sunset” parole supervision after 3 years.

This is more than a meeting—it’s a movement for justice, freedom, and systemic change. Help us lead the change we want to see in Pennsylvania.

Food will be served.
