Pennsylvania Prison Society

What the org has to say: “The Society advocates for systemic policy change, responds to the concerns of incarcerated people and their families, provides subsidized bus service for Philadelphia families visiting loved ones incarcerated in different parts of the state, and provides assistance to individuals returning home from incarceration. It is the only non-profit organization in the United States with this degree of access to jails and prisons.”

What we found: Pennsylvania Prison Society helps incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people and their family members reintegrate into society. The organization pairs people with a mentor and sets them up with a monthly support group. PPS and its volunteers can also help if you’re facing abuse or lack healthcare.
