How can you help our non-profit serve our families and children better?

First, we will provide an assessment of your program to determine risk factors and current challenges/climate. After the assessment, we would then know how to best develop a plan to empower your organization’s efforts.

How many people in the US have been affected by the criminal justice system?

Well there are 65 million people right now in prisons, jails, on probation or parole. About one-in-four of Americans, and that’s not counting their families and friends – potentially the largest voting block the USA has ever seen.

Can ex-prisoners vote?

Some can, but tt depends on the State and the laws therein. There is a movement to give back voting rights to ex-prisoners. Who knows, if that happens, we may one day even see an ex-prisoner elected president.
