Community Partners in Action

One of the oldest organizations of its kind in the country, CPA was founded nearly 150 years ago to champion criminal justice reform and advocate for preserving the dignity of those in and out of prison. Through our programs that include reentry and housing, youth initiatives, a nationally-recognized Prison Arts Program, and holistic alternatives to incarceration, we provide the long-term impact that positively transforms individuals and society at large. Annually serving nearly 7,000 individuals throughout Connecticut, our work is possible due to partnerships with and support from individuals, government, private funders, organizations, and businesses. Join us in our belief that people can change.
