reporting available in a brand new home on our website. Read Report.

Decriminalizing and Decarcerating Black and Brown People. The SPLC
aims to reduce the overall number of adults and juveniles incarcerated
in prisons, jails, and juvenile and immigrant detention centers in the
Deep South. We work to reform local policies and practices that
unjustly criminalize people of color. Last year marked an
unprecedented investment by the SPLC in securing criminal justice
reform across the South, as we ... freed over 20,000 people from
immigrant detention centers through orders related to our Fraihat v.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement(ICE) litigation that mandated
ICE's pandemic response requirements to keep people safe from COVID-19
infection and release all medically
vulnerable people from detention... won the release of 167 people from
the Alabama and Mississippi prison systems as well as ICE detention.
We provided direct services on asylum claims for 62 people. And we
collectively represented over 94,000 incarcerated people in class
action litigation to remedy inhumane prison and detention
conditions.... prompted Department of Justice investigation into a
predictive policing program in Pasco County, Florida, following our
coalition organizing and collective advocacy... helped permanently
shutter Georgia's Irwin County Detention Center in response to widely
reported medical abuse against
women. The Department of Justice announced an investigation into ICE's
New Orleans region following numerous complaints we filed with the DHS
inspector general citing widespread torture and abuse. These victories
are just a few examples of the groundbreaking progress the SPLC and
our partners made in 2021. To learn more about the transformative
change that you made possible, view the full impact report here.
