Binghamton Justice Projects

Binghamton Justice Projects brings together a wide variety of activities in the Binghamton, New York area that address the local, national and global incarceration and social justice crisis--and seek to advance alternative justice systems.

Associated faculty, students, activists and organizations are engaged in a wide variety of projects from teaching volunteer courses in prison and jails, to providing peer mentoring in youth facilities and working in health and related support services, to advancing research, teaching and publication on the construction of the global carceral and justice system. These independent projects have been established and are run by the organizations listed on our home page, each with contact information.
