Who you are:
Restoring Promise is an initiative of the Vera Institute of Justice that seeks to transform prison cultures, climates, and spaces by partnering with correctional leaders to reimagine housing units for young adults and realign corrections policies and practices with a commitment to human dignity. Transforming the United States prison system has been the goal of Vera’s groundbreaking work with corrections agencies since 2016 when Vera and the MILPA Collective opened the first of now seven young adult housing units in five states. Testimonials from corrections staff and incarcerated people and results from a randomized control trial of Restoring Promise units in South Carolina demonstrate what Vera knows to be true: when we treat people with dignity, we can create a sense of purpose beyond custody and control, forge community, and make prisons safer.
We are seeking a highly motivated Summer Intern to assist our team in researching and analyzing prison budgets. The successful candidate will gain valuable experience in data collection, analysis, and reporting while contributing to important projects aimed at understanding and improving the financial aspects of correctional facilities. The Summer Intern will be responsible for conducting a literature review and 50 state scan on corrections budgeting, interviewing internal and external stakeholders and experts on corrections spending and resource allocations, drafting an internal memo on lessons learned, and presenting the findings and recommendations.

We envision a society that respects the dignity of every single person. And we're working to realize it. We work with others who share our vision to tackle the most pressing injustices of our day - from the causes and consequences of mass incarceration, racial disparities, and the loss of public trust in law enforcement, to the unmet needs of the vulnerable, the marginalized, and those harmed by crime and violence.
