POLICY PRIORITY: Conditions of Confinement & Reentry
Why?

What are we doing?
When people are incarcerated we are entrusted with their care and creating a successful path for their reentry. Unfortunately, our society often overlooks the basic needs and rights of people impacted by incarceration as well as the costs associated with ineffective policies.
SALT believes that we should show love and compassion to all people, including those incarcerated.

SALT monitors the conditions in Virginia's prisons and jails to identify areas were policies can be implemented to improve the safety, rehabilitation, and reentry of those incarcerated. We work with various coalitions and organizations to amplify the voices and concerns of those incarcerated, their loved ones, and communities.

For the 2025 General Assembly session, with Sen. Lamont Bagby as our patron, we are leading the Virginia Coalition on Solitary Confinement's work to ensure that solitary confinement is not abused in Virginia's jails.
Additionally, we are working with JULIAN to remove barriers to obtaining an ID so that people being released from prison and jail will be able to verify their identity to potential landlords and employers.
