Improving the lives of those impacted by incarceration acknowledges their inherent worth as human beings and upholds their basic human rights.
Rehabilitation & Reintegration
Incarceration needs to serve a purpose beyond just punishing people. Rehabilitation should be a key focus, as it is crucial to improve the lives of those affected by incarceration. Helping individuals successfully reintegrate back into society is essential. By gaining skills, they can rebuild their lives, secure stable employment, and become valuable members of their communities. As a result, this will lower their chances of repeating offenses and promote public safety. It is important to remember that incarceration is not just about punishment but also about allowing individuals to improve themselves and make positive changes in their lives.
Building a Stronger Society
Empowering individuals impacted by incarceration to reintegrate into their communities can have far-reaching benefits for everyone involved. By tapping into their potential as role models, mentors, and advocates for change, we can help create a stronger, more resilient society. Additionally, reducing recidivism rates not only benefits those directly impacted but also eases the burden on the criminal justice system, freeing up resources for vital social programs like crime prevention and victim support. This presents us with a unique opportunity to make a positive impact that we should all embrace.
Fundraisers
Toy Time
Several inmates in the hobby shop at Stafford Creek Corrections Center (Washington State USA) decided to use their skills to make quality toys and gifts for the disadvantaged children in local communities. Through their efforts the Toy Time program was started and to this day, all gifts are handcrafted by volunteer inmates. Since its beginning Toy Time has donated thousands of toys and gifts to Grays Harbor charities and organizations such as The Children’s Advocacy Center, Friendship House, Christmas for kids and Aberdeen Police Department. The Police Department uses teddy bears to help ease the trauma a child experiences when their caregivers are involved with the police. Toy Time exists solely on donated funds and materials. Every penny, every piece of material goes directly toward making useful gifts. The volunteers in Toy Time constantly strive to provide as many gifts to as many organizations as possible. None of this could be done without your generosity.
