Who We Are & What We Do
The ARrow Center for Justice Reform is a project of the Veterans Advocacy Alliance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. ARrow’s mission is to promote a criminal justice system that balances accountability with rehabilitation and harm reduction, respecting the dignity and rights of victims, perpetrators, and those in the correctional system.
About us.
