The unit the work is made of
One community-controlled organisation. What it runs, what it costs against detention, and what it is building. Each profile is held by the community that lives inside it.
Founding profiles
These four communities are shaping the profile with us before anyone else is listed. They are existing partners, and each one is the editor of record for its own page.

The justice reinvestment map
Beyond the four founding profiles sits the wider network. Every justice reinvestment initiative we can find, grouped by the place it serves, with the lead organisation named wherever the record holds one and the gaps shown openly.
The Network
The view the network co-directors see: an honest count, grouped by state, with a clear section for the initiatives whose place is still to confirm.

How a profile works
A profile is never written about a community. It is written by the community. We can stage a page from public records, but nothing becomes confirmed until the organisation reviews it and chooses what the world may see.
Editor of record
Each profile has an owning community organisation. We can stage, they publish. Nothing reaches their page without their approval.
Visibility by section
Every section carries its own visibility. Some things are for everyone, some are shared by permission, some are held only for the community's own use.
Verification ladder
A profile climbs a public trust ladder: unclaimed, then org-confirmed, then community-verified. We show exactly which rung a page is on.
The ladder, in plain words
Only these founding communities are listed for now. Every other organisation stays unlisted until it has been through co-design. That order is the point: the community decides before the page goes public.
