Advo Care

   In our work at AdvoCare, we support projects that help reduce the reliance on incarceration in order to improve public safety.  As a part of this we track the legal and legislative issues that affect prisoners and their families.  We attend many different conferences and meetings of other nonprofit organizations, compile data, and  research the most recent court decisions or legislation that may pertain to prisoners’ interests.  As we track  cases and legislative proposals, we also provide the information to prisoners, their families and others who may be interested.  We research case law and statutes for those prisoners who may not have access to complete legal authorities.  And, in some circumstances with our limited volunteer resources, we may make contact with legislators, officials, and even the courts to better track the handling of an individual case, grievance or informal complaint.

   Basically, our goal at AdvoCare is to aid prisoners and their families in achieving the best possible life while dealing with the confines of corrections.  We strive to bring families and communities together in order to rehabilitate individuals rather than continuing to disenfranchise them.
