Advocate

Picture
Join us in advocating for a more just and
equitable world:


  • Sentencing reform,
  • expungement of criminal records,
  • restoration of voting rights,
  • reduction of the use of prolonged solitary confinement,
  • banning the box, and
  • addressing mass incarceration
These are all issues that deeply affect the lives of returning citizens who are seeking to return to their communities and live healthy, successful and
productive lives. 

Update on Felony Disenfranchisement in the Commonwealth of Kentucky

Every citizen deserves a second chance to create a new path in life. The restoration of incarcerated citizens works hand in glove with the progressive transformation of Kentucky’s system of criminal justice. Upon reading this report, if you are a person of faith, you will be moved to act.

Mission Behind Bars and Beyond restores lives and transforms communities. Join us in our Christian, faith-filled response to injustice and help us restore love in public for incarcerated citizens. Call, text, and email your state legislators! Tell them to support Kentucky House Bill 232 without amendments. Let them know that everyone deserves the right to vote! It’s the Christian thing to do! “The Time is Now!”

Ameelio Team

These Yale students built an app that makes it super simple for people to communicate with incarcerated loved ones for free.

Ameelio

• In March, a startup called Ameelio launched an app that helps people communicate with incarcerated loved ones for free.

• Usually, phone calls or text messages to incarcerated people can be expensive, and it can be difficult to find the correct address for mailing a letter. Ameelio allows people to locate an address, upload a letter, and send it for free.

• Ameelio has over 5,200 users and has sent over 21,000 letters so far.
