Humanity for Prisoners

About Me

It is the mission of Humanity for Prisoners to provide advocacy with a heart to those inmates who claim wrongful conviction, are in need of humane and professional care for physical and mental health issues, are deserving of parole and/or commutation, appear to be unable to fend for themselves in other matters deemed unfair and/or illegal, and are re-entering society after serving their time.

Seeking rightful resolutions to wrongful convictions;

  • Advocating appropriate release for inmates who have served prescribed time;

  • Defending the constitutional right to receive adequate prison medical care;

  • Pursuing compassionate action on behalf of prisoners facing imminent death;

  • Considering assistance for other prisoners with critical needs;

  • Facilitating reentry, when possible, for freed prisoners; and

  • Mentoring understudies so that our mission may continue!
