Program areas at Pennsylvania Prison Society
Social Services: The Society provides support for incarcerated people and their families through a combination of programming, information, and advocacy. The Society keeps families together by advocating for accessible visiting and by facilitating parenting classes for incarcerated parents. The Society's mentoring program provides a stable, continuous connection that bridges life behind bars and life in the community.
Education and Advocacy: Mass incarceration is the civil and human rights crisis of this time. Many Pennsylvanians do not know or care about this crisis. This ignorance is not willful, but rather due to limited access to the experiences of those behind prison walls. Therefore, the Society drives important conversation on prison conditions and frames the debate on overincarceration. Where laws are flawed or outrageous, the Society fights to change them.
Prison Monitoring: The Society works to eradicate inhumane treatment. Pennsylvania law designates the Prison Society as the independent monitor for correctional facilities. The Society supports a network of 300 volunteer Prison Monitors who go behind prison walls to bear witness and advocate for humanity and dignity. Every month, Society volunteers respond to more than 250 requests from incarerated people and their families seeking help with issues they face inside prison.
