There are 34 state prisons in California spread out all over the state. Many of the incarcerated men we serve are serving life sentences in prisons far away from their families. Our in-person visits are a lifeline for them! We envision several road trips a year to visit all of the men at least once a year.

Inmates in the California state prison system now have tablets and access to free phone calls, which enables us to be in regular communication with them. We are able to help them with specific problems they are facing, assist them in engaging with the educational and vocational programs in their respective prison, and provide emotional support.

We send books, literature, art supplies, newsletters, writing materials and pens and many other resources to the inmates.  Many inmates do not have the means to purchase these materials themselves through the prison commissary system.
