Conquering Post-Incarceration Syndrome
Restoring Lives, Renewing Hope
Project Description
Mission of Our Campaign
"Unlocking Freedom" is dedicated to empowering formerly incarcerated individuals to overcome Post-Incarceration Syndrome (PICS) and reintegrate successfully into society. Our mission is to provide comprehensive support through counseling, education, and community-building activities that address the psychological, social, and economic challenges faced by these individuals.
Problem We Are Solving
Post-Incarceration Syndrome (PICS) is a significant barrier to reintegration for millions of former inmates, characterized by psychological and social challenges that arise from prolonged incarceration. These challenges often lead to reoffending and hinder successful reentry into society. Despite the growing recognition of PIS, there remains a critical gap in targeted support and resources.
Market Size/Opportunity
With over 600,000 individuals released from prisons annually in the United States alone, the need for effective post-incarceration support is immense. Addressing PIS not only helps these individuals rebuild their lives but also contributes to safer, more resilient communities, reducing recidivism and the overall burden on the criminal justice system,
