About us

The Criminal Justice Alliance (formerly the Penal Affairs Consortium) is a coalition of organisations committed to improving the criminal justice system. It has 51 members, including voluntary sector service providers, campaigning organisations, staff associations and trade unions, bringing together a wide range of organisations with the potential to influence policy and practice in the criminal justice system.

The Criminal Justice Alliance provides the focal point of a network for its members. It disseminates information, organises meetings, and supports its members to work together. The Criminal Justice Alliance is also leading, in conjunction with its members, a campaign to end prison overcrowding and prison overuse.
