The Haywood Burns Institute is a national nonprofit based in Oakland, California, led by Black leadership and supported by a diverse team. It seeks to transform the administration of justice by challenging racial hierarchy and the social control exercised by the justice system and other public institutions over communities of color. The organization promotes a community-centered approach to justice administration anchored in structural well-being. As a small to mid-sized nonprofit, the institute pursues reform through strategies that address how public systems interact with communities affected by justice policy. A leadership transition in late 2022, with a former director departing, reflects ongoing changes in its leadership. The institute has historically developed analytic tools, such as an interactive data map launched in 2013 to illuminate patterns in youth incarceration.
