Picture
Neither imprisonment or the life after should mean the loss of all the rights and attributes of citizenship.
Each prisoner’s sentence is a temporary measure aimed at meeting certain societal goals. 
It should also be aimed at the long-term objective of reintegration into the community.

Picture
Far too many are returning ill prepared to take their place in society as productive citizens.   Resources in the communities to which most will returned are already stretched to the limit! Citizens like yourselves must play a greater role to insure that the revolving door is closed.  Help us!  See the services we offer and ask how you might join our team! Be sure you donate to Citizens today and help us help those who need our collective support!
Picture
Mass incarceration is the human and civil rights issue of the twenty first century!
Far too many Americans are going to prison needlessly.
