Mission

We are an Oakland-based architecture and real estate development non-profit working to end mass incarceration by building infrastructure that addresses its root causes: poverty, racism, unequal access to resources, and the criminal justice system itself. Our work counters the traditional adversarial and punitive architecture of justice—courthouses, prisons, and jails—by creating spaces and buildings for restorative justice, community building, and housing for people coming out of incarceration.

About

Concept Development:The Concept Development Process helps low income communities of color to imagine, design and develop spaces and places that restore and transform their communities and address the root causes of mass incarceration. As many of DJDS projects are new typologies and intended for communities that require significant external financing, the concept development phase is critical to fleshing out (1)what exactly we intend to build, for whom and why; (2) how thoughtful design can amplify, build capacity, and possibly improve outcomes for program partners; and (3) how much upfront ongoing capital is required to build and maintain the project. It supports the first critical step towards pre-development and construction in order for partners to gain access to capital which might otherwise be unattainable. In 2017 we set up the fund, developed processes and tools to do the process.
