decARcerate is a nonprofit working to affirm human dignity by
confronting unjust systems. We envision a world where equity, healing, and reconciliation replace systems of punishment and oppression.
Utilizing data, storytelling, artistic expression, and research, we educate Arkansans through public events that center the stories and experiences of individuals who are directly impacted by the criminal injustice system.

End Solitary
We are working to end solitary confinement and replace it with program-rich evidence-based alternatives. We seek to educate the public, provide support to individuals being held in solitary, and pass comprehensive legislative change.
Abolish Prison Slavery
Prison is an extension of slavery. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery and involuntary servitude except as punishment for a crime. We are working to amend the Arkansas state constitution and finally remove slavery from law.
