FREE CT is the name of Cultivating Justice's campaign to reform Connecticut's probation system. CONNECTICUT PROBATION REFORM CONNECTICUT PROBATION REFORM CONNECTICUT PROBATION REFORM CONNECTICUT PROBATION REFORM We are fighting to reform the probation system by eliminating incarceration for noncriminal technical violations, introducing earned time credit and removing burdensome supervision fees in order to incentivize success, reduce caseloads and reduce the trauma of arrest. JOIN THE FIGHT JOIN THE FIGHT JOIN THE FIGHT JOIN THE FIGHT F.R.E.E. CT December 17th Public Meeting Probation Reform Sign On Letter Probation Reform Sign On Letter Probation Reform Sign On Letter Probation Reform Sign On Letter Probation was designed to be an alternative to incarceration. Instead, it has become a direct pathway into the prison system, creating an endless cycle of supervision and incarceration, while also acting as a barrier to resources and support that would effectively target some of the root causes of crime, such as food insecurity. Instead of following its vision to act as a leader in progressive reforms with reentry initiatives as a primary focus, Connecticut DOC chooses to uphold targeted, biased, and unjust systems. As of June 1st 2025, more than 32,000 people are on probation in Connecticut – three times the number of those incarcerated. What do we already know? As of July 2025, there were 32,464 individuals on probation in Connecticut. In Connecticut, probation violations are the leading cause of incarcerations, with 1 in 10 incarcerations a non-criminal technical violation. There are two types of probation: 1) Serving time in jail and then being put on probation after completing a short jail time, aka 'shock probation 2) Going on probation instead of going to jail. Probation begins immediately after release. Connecticut currently has 17 conditions, the 17 being to ‘satisfy any other conditions reasonably related to the defendant's rehabilitation,’ which essentially means more conditions or opportunities to violate. Justice-impacted individuals are twice as likely to be impacted by food insecurity, and 90% of justice-impacted individuals were reported to have experienced food insecurity. Supervision fees disproportionately impact underserved and low-income communities, taking what we don’t have. Connecticut requires both a $200 supervision fee and for those on probation to pay for random drug tests, regardless of whether drugs were involved in the crime. Access to food resources such as SNAP has been shown to reduce recidivism by 10% within the first year of getting benefits.

The USDA and Trump Administration Are Hurting Our Food Security General Discussion What are we doing about this at Chicks Ahoy Farm?!? 1. Expand access to affordable, fresh food, such as poultry eggs, during the winter for underserved families. 2. Keeping Basic Human Needs and Harm Reduction supplies on hand for families and retail store staff 3. Organizing a broad base of people to protect us all and work towards solutions to these problems in Connecticut Our CoOp2kitchen program provides real food purchased from Connecticut Farmers located in Manchester, Hartford, Middletown, and Meriden. C2K provides food and harm reduction supplies to families, seniors, and community members throughout Hartford, Middlesex, and New Haven Counties through our Pop Ups. If you are a farmer, provider, producer, or grower of something helpful to people, please consider working with CoOp2kitchen. Vendors can sign up here! We offer a variety of products, including homemade bar soaps, laundry sheets, coupons, hygiene products, and harm reduction supplies, as well as informal case management and human services. Additionally, we provide community organizing training and support to help you self-advocate for these issues in your community. Here are some articles and data on the problem we are facing: USDA Terminates Redundant Food Insecurity Survey (Washington, D.C., September 20, 2025) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the termination of future Household Food Security Reports. These redundant, costly, politicized, and extraneous studies do nothing more than fuel fear. For 30 years, this study—initially created by the Clinton administration as a means to support the increase of SNAP eligibility and benefit allotments—failed to present anything more than subjective, liberal fodder. Trends in the prevalence of food insecurity have remained virtually unchanged, despite an over 87% increase in SNAP spending between 2019 and 2023. USDA will continue to prioritize statutory requirements and, where necessary, use the bevy of more timely and accurate data sets available to it. https://www.npr.org/2025/09/22/nx-s1-5549115/usda-food-insecurity-survey-hunger "SNAP benefits, and the resulting rise in food insecurity, is the likely motive behind the Trump administration scrapping the report. "This will substantially increase food insecurity, and unfortunately, that will make itself clear in the data of food insecurity reports in the next couple of years," Ross said. The USDA did not respond to questions from NPR about the reasons behind the report's cancellation." Household Food Security in the United States in 2023 An estimated 86.5 percent of U.S. households were food secure throughout the entire year in 2023, with access at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members. The remaining households (13.5 percent, statistically significantly higher than the 12.8 percent in 2022) were food insecure at least some time during the year. Very low food security is the more severe range of food insecurity where one or more household members experience reduced food intake and disrupted eating patterns at times during the year because of limited money or other resources for food. In 2023, 5.1 percent of households were very low food secure, an estimate that is statistically similar to the 5.1 percent in 2022. Commission on Women, Children, Seniors, Equity, and Opportunity 2024 Food Security Annual Report (CWCSEO), it is our pleasure to present our 2024 report on the state of food insecurity in Connecticut, reflecting our commitment as mandated by Public Act 23-204. This report comes at the conclusion of the Commission’s first year with a Food & Nutrition Policy Analyst on staff, and is the product of publicly available data and academic research. Additionally, we endeavored to incorporate lived experience and community feedback through 107 individual and small group meetings, a survey of food organizations that collected 162 responses, and presentations to local food collaboratives across the state. #CoOp2kitchen is a mutual aid project collaborating with CT Farmers and vendors to provide food, necessities, and informal case management to those in need. Chicks Ahoy Farm's cohort of youth, women and BILPOC farmers, FLOC (Farmers & Leaders of Color) and residents in Hartford, Middletown, Bloomfield, Portland, and Cromwell have come together to create an Advisory Committee for c2k to review potential agreements for supplies and items.
