About Make Justice Work

Make Justice Work was established in 2009 as a campaign to boost public support for a change in how Britain deals with lower-level offenders – a switch from expensive and futile short prison terms to intensive and effective sanctions.

MJW closed in June 2013 following the launch of it’s final report ‘Lighting the Flame: a report on the impact of Make Justice Work’.
