OUR MISSION
After Incarceration is a cosmopolitan community-based organization. We claim a stake in all communities experiencing cycles of poverty and violence. We organize to prevent community violence, to interrupt institutional violence, to dismantle systemic violence. Our mission is to hold space for people to process the trauma of incarceration, to un-compartmentalize their consciousness and debrief whatever dehumanization they internalized to survive prison. We gather to remember what made us who we are, and to release ourselves from what no longer serves our sanity. We work to cultivate networks of support and collaborate to center consent and prioritize respect. Our pilgrimage to peace involves a combination of restorative practices and the organizing steps of Kingian Nonviolence.
