Incarcerated people

Language of Freedom is a twelve-module curriculum built specifically for incarcerated people. We explore radical accountability, healing from trauma, rebuilding identity, and restoring relationships. The program is peer-led, trauma-informed, and aligns with parole expectations.

families

Freedom Together is the companion course to Language of Freedom. It is designed for families who want to walk this journey with their loved one. The curriculum offers reflection questions, communication tools, and emotional support to help family members reconnect, rebuild trust, and hold space for real change.

Partner organizations

We partner with correctional facilities, reentry nonprofits, and coalitions who believe in doing reentry differently. Our turnkey, trauma-informed curriculum can be facilitated by staff or peers inside institutions, and is designed to align with parole board expectations, criminogenic risk factors, and evidence-based practices.
