The Illinois Alliance for Reentry and Justice (ILARJ) is a nonprofit organization that started in 2019 as a project and recently transitioned to become an independent nonprofit organization. Our strength is in the 360-degree perspective offered by our coalition/ecosystem partners - currently and formerly incarcerated people, directly impacted people, nonprofits, service providers, legal professionals, and advocates. We are working to develop solutions to the problems our partners are currently facing on both sides of the walls.
