Pros
A small dedicated team of smart, passionate people committed to justice reform. JPI is often at the leading edge of some issues in the criminal justice field - keeping the office fast paced and relevant. The small nonprofit environment provides an opportunity to gain experience beyond your job title and responsibilities.
Cons
The work pace can be exhausting. JPI tends to write and release more reports annually than similar sized organizations in the field. As a result of funding streams and the fundraising strategies new funds are usually project specific and come with additional work, reducing the flexibility for staff to remain engaged with recently completed work as well as active in the broader justice reform community.
