Describe the Organization's Mission:

Part 3 - Line 1

THE MISSION OF THE PENNSYLVANIA PRISON SOCIETY IS TO ADVOCATE FOR HUMANE PRISIONS AND A RATIONAL APPROACH TO CRIMINAL JUSTICE.

Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

SOCIAL SERVICES: THE SOCIETY PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR INCARCERATED PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE SOCIETY KEEPS FAMILIES TOGETHER BY PROVIDING AFFORDABLE TRANSPORTATION FOR LOVED ONES WITH INCARCERATED FAMILY MEMBERS HOURS AWAY FROM HOME AND BY FACILITATING PARENTING CLASSES FOR INCARCERATED FATHERS. THE SOCIETY'S MENTORING PROGRAM PROVIDES A STABLE, CONTINUOUS CONNECTION THAT BRIDGES LIFE BEHIND BARS AND LIFE IN THE COMMUNITY.


PRISON MONITORING: THE SOCIETY WORKS TO ERADICATE INHUMANE TREATMENT. PENNSYLVANIA LAW DESIGNATES THE PRISON SOCIETY AS THE INDEPENDENT MONITOR FOR CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES. THE SOCIETY SUPPORTS A NETWORK OF 250 VOLUNTEER PRISON MONITORS WHO GO BEHIND PRISON WALLS TO BEAR WITNESS AND ADVOCATE FOR HUMANITY AND DIGNITY. EVERY MONTH, SOCIETY VOLUNTEERS RESPOND TO MORE THAN 250 REQUESTS FROM INCARCERATED PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES SEEKING HELP WITH ISSUES THEY FACE INSIDE PRISON.


EDUCATE AND ADVOCATE: MASS INCARCERATION IS THE CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS CRISIS OF THIS TIME. MANY PENNSYLVANIANS DO NOT KNOW OR CARE ABOUT THIS CRISIS. THIS IGNORANCE IS NOT WILLFUL, BUT RATHER DUE TO LIMITED ACCESS TO THE EXPERIENCES OF THOSE BEHIND PRISON WALLS. THEREFORE, THE SOCIETY DRIVES IMPORTANT CONVERSATION ON PRISON CONDITIONS AND FRAMES THE DEBATE ON OVERINCARCERATION. WHERE LAWS ARE FLAWED OR OUTRAGEOUS, THE SOCIETY FIGHTS TO CHANGE THEM.
