Become a Founding Donor!
We are excited to introduce Reentry Ready! A groundbreaking 501c4 pending organization based in Pennsylvania, dedicated to assisting all people impacted by the criminal justice system with integrity and compassion, bridging gaps to create a more just, inclusive and safe society, while helping prepare individuals for reentry with tools and resources needed for success.
We are dedicated to working directly with life without parole (LWOP) sentenced individuals throughout the commutation process, educating the public and lawmakers about the facts of incarceration while building allies to promote and build upon the restorative process.
Our organization is committed to providing personalized support and guidance throughout a very emotional process, understanding that everyone is much more than the worst thing they have ever done.
Our Giveback program focuses on the Arts. Incarcerated persons can submit their art (all art, whether paper crafts, cards, intricate or crocheted items, we believe art comes in many forms). Their items will be listed for sale for what they believe the value to be. Upon sale, they will receive the funds and also be asked to designate an organization to send a donation in their name. At present Reentry Ready will submit donations on their behalf to the Pennsylvania Office of Victims Advocates or an art program to help keep our youth safe.
We believe that in empowering our incarcerated persons, whether it be providing much needed information as they prepare for hopeful release, a supportive review of their application, working to build a community or support and encouraging financial well-being while incarcerated all will lead to even better outcomes upon release.
Through our growth, we will work to employ 98% of staff who are returning form a Life without Parole sentence after being granted mercy through the commutation process.
We are a reentry preparation and supportive services, civically minded organization; we will work with reentry organizations to help our clients secure additional reentry support upon release.
We are the fiscal sponsor of the 100% donation led "Freedom Dog Fund" which helps put money on books of those who have served excessive time on a Life without Parole sentence and who either have no family, or whose family has fallen on hard times.
