The Community

Showcasing the successes, humanity, and agency of people with criminal records.

The Community addresses the effects of the criminal punishment system with two arms: Pre-entry and Correcting the Narrative. Pre-entry leverages their ever-growing connection with over half the Wisconsin prison population via their newsletter and educational tech platform to provide them with every type of resource, encouragement, and training to return to society as successfully as possible, rather than trying to get prepared after release. Their Correcting the Narrative campaign showcases the successes, humanity, and agency of people with criminal records to counteract the fear, pity, and spectacle narratives. Ultimately, they seek to bring society and the system-impacted community exactly where they need each other to be.
