Inside Out Program
The Inside Out Program aims to support LGBTQ+ prisoners by fostering emotional healing, building self confidence, and preparing them for a more positive future. The program focuses on personal growth, goal setting, and creating a vision for the next chapter of their lives.
Why the Inside Out Program Matters

We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and create a positive future, regardless of their past or current circumstances.
