What Would You Buy With $3.5 Billion?

L.A. County, the current jail capital of the world, is planning to spend $3.5 billion to build two new jails in our back yard.  

The JusticeLA Coalition is standing together as one voice to call for a moratorium on jail construction in L.A. County and to urge the Board of Supervisors to reimagine our collective future.

JusticeLA is calling for a moratorium on jail construction in order to fully realize the promise of diversion and re-entry through a justice reinvestment strategy for Los Angeles.

Tell us what how you’d spend $3.5 billion in your community?

Jail Bed Drop Project

JusticeLA’s Jail Bed Drop project was a creative intervention on Christmas Eve meant to bring attention to families separated by incarceration during the holiday season and encourage a public conversation about the fight for abolition. Artists used over 50 jail beds as a canvas, transformed them, created and recreated with them–and in some cases, destroyed them as symbols of what we envision.

L.A. County is looking to build two new jails with nearly 6,000 beds. Beds are supposed to be where we sleep, where we dream. Jail beds represent trauma, shame, torture, and death. We demand an end to mass incarceration in the U.S. and to L.A. County’s investment in policing and jails and we envision a new, freer and more just world.

Who We are

We’re JusticeLA.

JusticeLA was born in the Fall of 2017 from the community based advocacy of countless families separated by the largest jail system in the world. In partnership with grassroots organizations, advocates, directly impacted communities, and stakeholders, we work to reduce the footprint of incarceration by stoping jail expansion and reclaiming, reimagining and reinvesting dollars away from incarceration and into community-based systems of care. Since our launch, we have successfully stopped LA County’s $3.5 billion jail expansion plan and lead the development of LA County’s Alternatives to Incarceration Workgroup report.
