FAMM’s Mission
FAMM’s mission is to create a more fair and effective justice system that respects our American values of individual accountability and dignity while keeping our communities safe.
Our Vision
The vision of FAMM is a criminal justice system in which:
- People are treated equally under the law and held accountable only after an independent judge considers the unique facts and circumstances of the crime and the person and fashions a sentence that is individualized and proportionate;
- Public safety is maximized through evidence-informed strategies and the expressed needs of affected communities;
- People of color are guaranteed fair and impartial justice, and all disparities based on race and ethnicity are eliminated;
- Incarcerated people and people with criminal records are treated with dignity, regardless of their offense;
- People are incarcerated close to their homes in order to maintain important family bonds; and
- All correctional facilities are safe and humane, provide appropriate medical care, and offer educational, vocational, and rehabilitative programming.
