About The Wren Collective

The Wren Collective is a nonprofit research and policy organization working to rethink how the United States approaches public safety and the criminal legal system. Founded by former public defenders, the group produces research, commentary, and policy analysis that challenge common narratives about crime and punishment. The Wren Collective works with policymakers, and advocates to highlight solutions that strengthen communities while reducing reliance on incarceration. Its work aims to reduce the legal system’s footprint while promoting policies that support victims, strengthen communities, and ensure justice works for everyone—not just those with power.
