Stopping the Incarceration Cycle Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Every single dollar you contribute goes directly toward dismantling mass incarceration, providing community re-entry resources, and mentoring individuals at risk of entering the justice system.

Because our organization is mostly led by wrongfully accused and formerly incarcerated individuals who served on average over 20 years, we understand exactly what it takes to rebuild a life. We use your donations efficiently because we know the landscape better than anyone else.
