Resources for Returning Citizens
At Remember My Prisoners, Inc., we recognize that the criminal justice system often fails to provide returning citizens with the support they need to reintegrate and rebuild their lives.
to provide critical resources that empower individuals to overcome barriers, demand justice, and create lasting change. We are not only supporting returning citizens—we are challenging an unjust system. These resources are designed to meet immediate needs and foster long-term, systemic transformation.
Our partner organizations deliver intensive reentry services to ensure that returning citizens are equipped with the tools necessary for successful reintegration. These programs focus on securing stable housing, obtaining employment, pursuing education, and rebuilding community connections. Job Placement and Career Development: Securing meaningful employment is not a luxury—it is a necessity. We work with employers committed to hiring returning citizens and provide job-readiness training, skills development, and long-term career placement support. These efforts directly challenge the cycle of recidivism and provide pathways to economic self-sufficiency.
The trauma of incarceration leaves a lasting impact. Access to mental health and substance use treatment is not optional—it is essential. We provide access to critical services that address the complex emotional, psychological, and addiction-related challenges many returning citizens face.
Navigating the legal landscape after incarceration can be a daunting and isolating experience. Our network of legal professionals offers direct support for clearing criminal records, addressing parole violations, and understanding the maze of legal obligations. We are committed to ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to fight for a fair chance at rebuilding their life.
Safe, affordable housing is a basic human right—and it is also key to successful reentry. We provide connections to transitional housing, permanent housing programs, and resources to prevent homelessness, enabling individuals to establish a secure foundation upon their return to society.
We are not just providing services—we are actively working to transform the criminal justice system. Our advocacy efforts aim to end the criminalization of poverty, reduce mandatory minimum sentences, eliminate the school-to-prison pipeline, and promote restorative justice practices that focus on rehabilitation over punishment. We partner with lawmakers, activists, and other organizations to push for legislative reform at the local, state, and national levels. Legislative and Policy Education: Staying informed about ongoing reform efforts is essential to creating sustainable change. We offer comprehensive resources and regular updates on key legislation affecting incarcerated individuals, parole systems, sentencing practices, and overall justice system reform. We empower our community to take action and hold systems of power accountable.

Our campaigns push for the dismantling of the prison-industrial complex and its deep racial inequities. We lead efforts to shift public opinion and promote legislative change aimed at reducing mass incarceration and its damaging impact on communities of color.
True systemic change requires collaboration. We facilitate coalitions of returning citizens, advocates, and allies who work together to promote shared goals, amplify voices, and create collective action. Peer support groups provide solidarity, mentorship, and guidance to those reentering society, ensuring no one has to face these challenges alone.
Successful reentry extends beyond the individual. We provide resources for families to support loved ones during reintegration, from counseling services to family reintegration programs. Together, we are building stronger families and communities, transforming not just individuals but entire systems.
For many returning citizens, faith is a source of strength and healing. Our faith-based partnerships provide access to spiritual guidance and community support, helping individuals restore their sense of purpose and build resilience as they reintegrate.
Economic empowerment is central to long-term success. Our financial literacy workshops provide returning citizens with the tools needed to manage their finances, build savings, and plan for a secure future. These resources are crucial in breaking the cycle of poverty and incarceration.
Reintegration is a multi-faceted journey that requires attention to physical, mental, and emotional well-being. We offer comprehensive wellness programs designed to support individuals in healing, managing stress, and maintaining their overall health—critical components in the fight for a better future.
