Community Alliance on Prisons CAP's goal is to educate the community on best practices and proven strategies for criminal justice and to involve the greater community in these issues.

Community Alliance on Prisons (CAP) is a community initiative working to develop effective interventions for Hawai'i's offenders and to improve the quality of justice in Hawai'i. We want the public to understand the research, and not fall prey to the rhetoric, which abounds – especially at election time! CAP believes that an informed community advocating for issues on which they are educated and knowledgeable is a crucial component to our democracy. Each Legislative session our policymakers are faced with thousands of bills on a variety of subjects. Therefore, the community has not only a right, but a responsibility, to help our Legislators develop thoughtful and sound public policy. A vibrant democracy demands participation! Hawai`i’s people have the answers and the brain power to develop effective interventions to create safe and healthy communities. The research is very clear that simply locking people up will not solve our problems; we cannot build our way out of crime and our social problems. Prison should be reserved for those who harm others; yet our facilities are bursting with nonviolent drug lawbreakers.
