Recidiviz
Recidiviz is a nonprofit technology company that stitches together the fragmented data trapped inside America's prison, parole and probation systems and turns it into usable tools. Its platform - and its newer AI-powered Case Planning Assistant - helps corrections agencies in roughly 19 states surface people eligible for early release, automate case triage, and connect returning citizens to housing, treatment and jobs. Founded in 2019 as a volunteer project at Google, Recidiviz's mission is to accelerate progress toward a smaller, fairer, safer justice system.
Clementine Jacoby
Clementine Jacoby is the co-founder and CEO of Recidiviz, a nonprofit that untangles the fragmented, decades-old data systems that quietly trap people in the U.S. criminal justice system. A former Google product manager and aerial-hoop acrobat who once taught circus to gang members in Brazil, she built Recidiviz out of a Google volunteer project after watching her own uncle cycle through prison. Within two years of launch, the platform helped states identify and release more than 40,000 people who had already earned their freedom. She is a TED Fellow, a Forbes 30 Under 30 and TIME100 Next honoree, and one of Fast Company's Most Creative People.
