Our Mission
Our mission is to get justice for the lives lost in the Pima County Jail while working to implement alternatives to incarceration. We seek to memorialize each person the jail has stolen from us–to refuse to let any of their deaths be forgotten.
Who We Are
We are a coalition of groups and individuals driven by a desire to see an end to incarceration as a catch-all response to the problems faced by our community. We are grounded in the experiences of those who have lost family members to the jail. We are activists, we are mothers, we are fathers, we are formerly incarcerated, we are currently incarcerated. We are anyone with a sincere desire to act against the death-drive of the jail.
Demands
- Release the names of officers involved in each death
- Fire all officers responsible
- End the Pima County Sheriffs complicity in medical neglect
- Close the Pima County Jail
- No construction of a new jail
Happening Now
Members of NJD along with other members of the newly formed No New Jail Coalition have spent about 6 months compiling data, stories, and research culminating in a 58 page report that we are very proud of!
Please support the Family of Caleb!
Calebs family has been searching for him for months, only to learn days ago not only that he had been jailed, but that that he had passed away because of the notorious Pima County Jail. The family was not notified by Authorities of the jail and instead learned of his untimely passing through a concerned local advocate.
