Under the current prison labor system, incarcerated workers are paid little or nothing. Help us advocate for policy to open up new opportunities for systems-impacted individuals. Assembly Bill 746 (2025-2026) would create prison cooperatives — a successful strategy employed in countries around the world — to reduce recidivism, allow people to gain marketable skills, earn income, and become active, productive taxpayers while incarcerated. Acterra is helping build a coalition called the Let Us Contribute Initiative (LUCI), partnering with TheSELC, Earth Equity, Romero Institute, Arizmendi Association, Impact Justice, and other allies.
