Description
The Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition (CCJRC) is a non-profit organization that was formed to halt the exponential growth in the state prison population. CCJRC believes that we are currently overusing incarceration and that a comprehensive reevaluation of current criminal justice policy is necessary. We advocate for the expansion of funding for treatment, alternatives to incarceration, and reintegration services to people leaving prison. We also unconditionally oppose the use of for-profit prisons in Colorado.
Terri Hurst has over 10 years of experience in behavioral health and drug policy reform. She received her Masters of Social Work from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 2005. For the past 6 years she has been a registered lobbyist working to improve access to healthcare services, in particular substance use disorder and mental health treatment, as well as improving access to healthcare services in rural Colorado. She has provided direct services to adolescents, current and formerly incarcerated individuals, and active injection drug users.
CCJRC was founded in 1999 to support legislation sponsored by Senator Dorothy Rupert (Boulder) and Representative Penfield Tate (Denver) for a three-year halt on prison expansion. Although unsuccessful, this campaign launched CCJRC's efforts to build a statewide, grassroots movement for criminal justice reform.
