The Community

The Community addresses the effects of the criminal punishment system with two arms: Pre-entry and Correcting the Narrative. Pre-entry leverages our ever-growing connection with over half the Wisconsin prison population via our newsletter and custom career packets to provide incarcerated people with every type of resource, encouragement, and training to return to society as successfully as possible - rather than trying to get prepared after release. Our Correcting the Narrative campaign showcases the successes, humanity, and agency of people with criminal records to counteract the fear, pity, and spectacle narratives. Ultimately, we seek to bring society and the system-impacted community exactly where they need each other to be: moving forward together.
