Recidiviz aims to prevent avoidable prison admissions*, accelerate earned release, and reduce disparities – partnering closely with practitioners, advocates, and academics to elevate the efforts of other reformers in the ecosystem. 

I was a contract designer for Recidiviz, working on Justice Counts, which is an open-source publisher-subscriber ecosystem where agencies publish data and policy makers and the public consume it. 

The dispersed justice system confuses the public and hampers coordination for policy makers. It also prevents policy makers from making informed decisions due to the lack of access to reliable data.

How might we simplify the information architecture 
of the platform so it’s easier for policy makers 
and agency workers to use?
