Give Today

LSJA’s programs have the potential both to dramatically transform criminal justice in Texas and significantly save taxpayer dollars. Texas spends $5 billion annually on incarceration and yet 75% of emerging adults re-offend within 3 years. LSJA's innovative programs dramatically alter the justice landscape by providing evidence-based alternatives that increase public safety and improve lives.
