What We Do
We have a wide range of programs to help formerly incarcerated men and women become positive forces in the lives of their communities.
About Us
Led by liberated lifers, we are organized around the demand for just sentencing laws and fair parole practices. We integrate incarcerated men and women back into society and help build strong, self-sustaining communities.
Take Action
Educating and supporting those in prison and their families, we engage the state legislature and Governor for fair sentencing laws and parole policies .
