Clementine Jacoby

Clementine Jacoby is the Founder & CEO of Recidiviz, a non-profit using technology to safely unwind mass incarceration in the United States, which has the highest rates of incarceration in the world.  During COVID, Recidiviz helped states safely release 36,000 people from prison early, at a rate 3x higher than states that didn’t leverage their technology. Recidiviz offers free policy impact modelling to advocates working to advance criminal justice reforms. To date, they’ve supported bills that will return 99,000 life years to people who would otherwise be incarcerated and save states 790 million dollars to reinvest in strengthening communities and addressing the root causes of incarceration. As part of her work at Recidiviz, Clementine is outspoken about helping young technologists use their skills to change the world: to start companies and build careers that marry true social impact with real technical challenges.
