3) … to meet the tangible, practical needs of incarcerated and recently-released women.

mothers in prison, generational incarceration issues, the correlation between poverty, illiteracy and incarceration, and preventive talks on drug and alcohol abuse. We have spoken at universities, annual meetings of corporations, churches and living rooms. We do this because we know that when society begins to view individuals who have been incarcerated as people just like themselves, conditions across the board will improve for everyone with an experience of incarceration.

2) To provide positive role models to our sisters who are still incarcerated. While incarcerated, we see the women who fail at freedom every day. Statistics tell us that 67% of released inmates will return to prison within 3 years, and we see this reinforced in a very real way in the faces of the women who walk back through the gate on a daily basis. This contributes to an environment of despair, and we are left feeling as if there must be no way out of “the system”. We never see or hear about those who do succeed. This will change through the Redeem-Her Alumni Network, where successful women with a history of incarceration come together and present a united front to those still behind bars by a newsletter that tells our stories of hope to presently imprisoned women and by bridging the vast divide between the “inside” and the “outside” through personal correspondence.

3) To provide a diversity of social services programs where the community and ex-offenders join together to meet the tangible, practical needs of incarcerated and recently-released women. We will create effective programs that really work because they were designed by the people who were once a part of the problem and have now become a part of the solution. We also acknowledge that the best social service program is a JOB, and employ female ex-offenders to provide these services.
