Increase state funding for treatment alternatives and diversion programs
Restore humane priorities to our state's criminal justice system
Help people understand the real costs of incarceration in Wisconsin
Please join us -- all are welcome!

March 2021 Update
March 2021 Update
The Criminal Justice Task Force is focusing on two major issues: The first being crimeless revocations in Waukesha County and the second being supporting Huber Facility alternatives.
Crimeless revocations
There will be a new regional chief in Region 7, which includes Waukesha County. We will be reaching out to the new chief to establish a relationship, to make SOPHIA and its mission known, to explain our role as advisory and a representative of the community amongst other things.
Huber Facility alternatives
We are looking at the cost benefits and social benefits of the alternatives. We are also getting in touch with people in La Crosse, as they eliminated their Huber Facility, to discuss the pros and cons of their experience.
We have also been discussing the upcoming state budget, Madison Action Day and Immigrant Driver Cards.
