Our
mission is to support community groups (primarily nonprofits)
in the jail, prison, and re-entry context and
the growth of additional such organizations throughout the U.S.
NC4RSO is a 501 (c) 3 tax exempt organization.
NC4RSO - Introduction
Community
organizations throughout the U.S. provide valuable
services in and around the prison and re-entry context.
Services include preventative programming for high risk individuals, services for
incarcerated individuals (rehabilitative
programming, community connections, faith-based
activities, support for families of incarcerated
individuals, educational services, books for prisoners,
etc.), community re-entry services for incarcerated
individuals coming back into society, public education, public
oversight of
conditions in correctional facilities,
etc.
While individual
groups provide specific services within the overall
justice context (above), the National Coalition of
Community-Based Correctional and Community Re-entry
Service Organizations (NC4RSO) acts as a national voice
on topics of common member interest and works toward
increasing community-based prison-related services
throughout the country. There
is strength in numbers.
NC4RSO - Who We Are
NC4RSO, as an
umbrella association for community
groups within corrections, recognizes the need
for communities to engage in making communities safe,
support tangibly corrective paths for current and formerly
incarcerated individuals, and to create/encourage community contexts
that reduce the potential for high-risk demographic
groups to head toward paths of crime and incarceration.
Individual organizations work toward specific aspects of
these topics; as a coordinated coalition, NC4RSO works
to increase the number of community-based
corrections-related services, advocates for objectives
of common interest for member organizations within the
prison and re-entry contexts, broadens
prison-related community engagement, and supports the development of topic
and/or region-specific prison-related initiatives.
