The unPrison Project’s mission is to empower incarcerated women and girls through four goals:
- Life skills
- Cultivating critical thinking
- Create plans for life after prison
- Stay connected to their children.
We also strive to bring more public awareness to the needs and lives of incarcerated women and their children.
To date, the unPrison Project has already reached over 20,000 incarcerated women, or 10% of the total female prison population in the U.S
