JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
ELIMINATE CONTRABAND. PROTECT YOUR STAFF. LOWER COST.
Postal mail is one of the oldest and most commonly used methods to introduce contraband into a prison facility, creating an expensive and oftentimes lethal problem for both inmates and corrections staff. For example, PA DOC made significant changes to their postal mail procedural after reporting 57 staff members were sickened in 28 incidents in central and western Pennsylvania that will cost taxpayers $6M per year. Although the obvious solution may seem to restrict postal mail, studies show this approach negatively impacts reentry efforts, while also exposing the State to costly lawsuits for infringement of an inmates’ Constitutional Rights to receive
postal mail.

LEVERAGING TECH TO CREATE EXPERT COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE TO END HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
Law enforcement agencies are focused on specific geographic areas, and only the crimes happening in their jurisdictional areas are the ones they are funded and tasked with protecting. Traffickers, however, don’t stick to one city or care about geographic boundaries. They are trafficking across cities, counties, states, and even across the nation. Collective Liberty identifies and connects first responders with the power to disrupt human trafficking networks – ensuring they are operating in culturally nuanced, and victim-informed ways.
actionable steps
Collective Liberty created the Forging Freedom portal to fill a huge gap in the anti-human trafficking field: lack of systematic, coordinated data and collaboration. Identifying policy trends in the field, actionable data from first responders, and needs expressed directly by survivors, they created and share ways the general population can take action through digital communities of practice. This allows activists and advocates alike to scale data-driven, local policy solutions at a coordinated national level by taking concrete, actionable steps
To date, they have supported the closure of over 1,000 human trafficking venues. We have also trained over 7,000 investigators across the United States.
