REPORTS
Educating the community is central to CCJRC’s work.
Accurate information should be widely shared. Too often, public safety debates rely on fearmongering, sensationalism, and misinformation. We conduct research and publish reports to support policy reform, inform budget priorities, and elevate directly-impacted voices.

Under DOC Administrative Regulation 300-38, books may only be sent from the publisher, a bookstore, or another approved vendor. Please include the person’s DOC number and facility address with your order.
If you are ordering for someone in a different facility (county jail, federal prison, or another state’s DOC), contact that facility first to confirm its mail policy and whether the book must be sent directly from CCJRC.
