Our Mission

We Build the Tools
the System Never Built
for Itself.

AltReform is a nonprofit AI policy platform. We analyze criminal justice reform proposals, model their outcomes, and deliver evidence-based intelligence to the advocates, attorneys, and policymakers working to end mass incarceration in America.

Our AI doesn't replace human judgment. It amplifies it, with data, with context, and with the voices of communities the system has historically ignored.

AltReform was founded in 2026 by a Black man who carries the statistical reality of this system in his body every day, and a legal professional whose family has felt its weight firsthand. We are not observers. We are builders who happen to have front-row seats to both the problem and the technology that can help solve it.

Operating at the intersection of AI and criminal justice reform, we are based in Northern Virginia, in the shadow of the world's largest data center corridor. Proof that the most powerful technology on earth can be redirected toward the communities that need it most.

How We Work

Three Levers of Change

RESEARCH

We analyze thousands of policy proposals, outcomes, and demographic data to surface what actually works, and what the system pretends does.

PREDICT

Our ML models score every reform proposal on recidivism reduction, racial equity impact, cost-effectiveness, and political feasibility.

EMPOWER

We put the tools directly in the hands of advocates, public defenders, and communities, the people fighting every day in courtrooms and city halls.
