| Description: | Friends Outside has provided support to the incarcerated, their family members, and those recently released for more than thirty years in Santa Cruz County. Our mission is to engage volunteers to restore justice, provide hope, and support change for those impacted by incarceration. We work closely with community partners to provide a continuum of services from custody to community re-entry. |
| Mission: | Our goal is to help reduce the trauma of incarceration for inmates and their families, to provide information that can lead to positive change, and to assist post-release clients with their re-entry into the community. |
| Programs: | Pre-Release and Jail Visiting All local jail facilities are visited by volunteers who provide one-on-one case management and pre-release planning. Additionally our volunteers provide re-entry prep classes and post-release planning services. Post Release Services After release from jail or prison, case managers can help facilitate post-release plans and provide applicable services, along with support and advocacy. Family Services Friends Outside supports the family through the initial trauma of incarceration and helps to begin the process of rebuilding the family unit. |
