We are a national group of people who work on prison reform issues and urgent inmate needs and when possible helping parolees with re-entry issues. Our goals are to reform the prison system and make it a better place based on rehabilitation versus warehousing. Our goal is also to help reduce recidivism in the United States and to resolve issues such as medical neglect/abuse. Our goal is that no one would be left out in the cold alone. We have a group where we try to educate the public on what is going on through news articles.
