Our Mission

The Liberation Foundation aims to secure justice and freedom for wrongfully incarcerated Pennsylvanians and those who are victims of disproportionate sentences or police and prosecutorial misconduct. We do this by partnering with volunteer students, investigators, and attorneys through our Project RIC initiative.  

Note: The Liberation Foundation is not a law firm. We cannot provide legal advice to those who contact us. 

The Liberation Foundation also seeks to support people preparing to return home from prison. Working in tandem with correctional institutions, formerly-incarcerated mentors and reentry experts, we provide comprehensive reentry preparation programming within Pennsylvania prisons through the Project HOPE Reentry Program. To date, more than 150 participants have graduated at partner correctional facilities. We believe a strong community is key to successful reentry, and that's why we build one before our incarcerated friends come home.

The Liberation Foundation also supports ongoing efforts to change our justice system for the better. We're pushing legislators to rethink our justice system, and encouraging communities to speak up for change.
