Peer-to-Peer National Exchange

PPTA is a cornerstone of the CJNY because our programs do tremendous work under extremely difficult circumstances while receiving little organizational support. To shift the nation's reliance on large institutional models of incarceration we must have effective community-based alternatives. We add value to the programs we serve by contacting other organizations that share their mission, are similarly situated, have innovative practices or programs they can share, and/or administrative structures that can be replicated. The CJNY network members represent the most innovative programming in the country. CJNY member programs are our best resource for implementing effective alternatives. Our affiliates are experts on everything from property management to zero-tolerance curriculums.
