Mission and programs · 2023

• County-Level Advocacy: TCJE advocates in Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio - Texas largest local drivers of people into state incarceration. Ultimately, this work is a local microcosm of TCJE's statewide reform efforts; our local program goals and objectives include: (1) helping kids feel safe and heard in schools, including by advocating for - and building partnerships that improve - opportunities for in-school programming and community based resources for kids and their families. (2) Reducing the flow of people into local jails and the state prison system, including by identifying and addressing policing, prosecutorial, and judicial practices that send people into the system. (3) Prioritizing investments in local resources that can both prevent kids and adults from entering the system and support them after leaving confinement. (4) Ensuring transparent and accountable local justice systems, including by providing critical data, information-sharing, and community engagement in support of effective advocacy and informed decision-making.

  Expenses $180,680

• Adult Justice: Our program goals and objectives include: (1) reversing the pipeline thats pushing people into the criminal punishment system addressing not just incarceration, but arrest, pretrial detention, probation, and more; that means engaging with other, intersecting systems that wrap people into the criminal punishment system. (2) Shrinking the number of people who are currently under correctional control (in prison or jail, on probation or parole) or who are impacted by prior system involvement, including by giving people the tools and opportunities to overcome the harsh, long-term consequences of a conviction. (3) Protecting the rights and wellbeing of people behind bars, specifically to ensure their humane treatment, safety, and dignity (especially during weather- or health-related crises). And (4) investing in approaches outside the criminal punishment system that support individual and community wellbeing, including programs and services that can help people address their needs like substance use disorder, mental health problems, or past trauma. This work is supported by TCJEs Statewide LeadershipCouncil, comprised of formerly incarcerated and system-impacted Texans who advocate locally and at the Texas Capitol to end mass incarceration and help people return successfully to the community.

  Expenses $169,387

• Youth Justice: Our program goals and objectives include: (1) reducing the number of students who are over-disciplined and, ultimately, arrested or referred to the juvenile system, including by prioritizing restorative justice and mental health supports for students, and, where possible, defunding school police. (2) Reducing the number of kids entering youth or adult prisons, including by limiting the number of 10- to 12-year-olds sent into the system, implementing decriminalization and diversion measures, and shuttering Texas' five remaining youth prisons through staggered facility closures, And (3) advocating for investments in non institutional, non-punitive, community-based programs and services that can address kids underlying needs - both preventing kids from entering the system and supporting them after leaving confinement. This work has been supported by TCJE's Youth Justice Ambassadors - four high school and early college students who have partnered with our youth justice team to advocate for changes in punitive school culture and address the over-criminalization of young people.

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made
