<h1>Malta Justice Initiative publishes book on prison reform</h1>
<h2><strong><em>The Justice Imperative – How Hyper-Incarceration Has Hijacked the American Dream</em></strong></h2>
New Canaan, CT, 1:00PM, August 22, 2014. Malta Justice Initiative has just published its first book to provide information about the causes and extent of the problems overwhelming the process of criminal justice in Connecticut; to explain why reform is long overdue and in our collective best interest; and to suggest reforms that are supported by empirical evidence from other states. , <strong><em>The Justice Imperative – How Hyper-Incarceration Has Hijacked the American Dream</em></strong> is now available for purchase on Amazon.
Our criminal justice system is in need of reform. Such system costs the taxpayer too much, fails at rehabilitation, exacts a life-long toll on offenders and does not yield corresponding societal benefits. Of late, the political left and right have found common ground in advocating for change. This book is the product of a bipartisan coalition here in Connecticut of businesspeople, correctional professionals, legislators, judges, law enforcement professionals, lawyers, ministers and academics. We believe there are systemic solutions capable of saving money, making us safer, and providing offenders with a pathway toward reformation and reintegration.

Prison Ministry is the national ministry of the Order of Malta and we appreciate your support. John S. Santa, Chairman; William J. Fox, Project Originator; Nick Yanicelli, President
