About Us

“We partnered with CEPP to reform our criminal justice system. In my 45 years in the legal system, locally and nationally, I am unaware of any other agency that has done as much as CEPP to improve what justice looks like in America.”

— Jeffrey Kremers, Chief Judge (ret.), Milwaukee County, WI
