Mission Statement

Help For Inmates’ mission is to help the families and loved ones of inmates find the needed support and assistance they require in order to adjust and cope with some of the most difficult times in their lives. Our underlying principle purpose is to help "break the cycle of recidivism" for inmates, and to provide a gateway to help inmates and ex-offenders accomplish this by providing them with useful and helpful information that will assist them with their goals of successfully functioning within the mainstream of society once they are released. Additionally, we are dedicated to assisting the families and friends of those incarcerated discover legal methods by which they can support themselves and prepare themselves for the eventual return of their loved ones. Everyone makes mistakes, some more than one, this should not be the ‘Mark of Cain’ for anyone, and is not an excuse to just give up on them. Many, if not most, re-offend because they "know no other way." We at Help for Inmates believe that:

DREAMS + DETERMINATION + DEDICATION = SUCCESS!!

Poor decisions = poor choices.

We will always be updating this site and we will continue to gather information and resources that will be available for inmate families and inmates in order to ease their burden and ensure a productive and meaningful future during and after incarceration that will help integrate individuals back into a productive and meaningful family life. Lowering recidivism remains the principle goal, however providing individuals and families with hope as well as positive social integrity and a promising future is..., well,.... Priceless!

Change is possible - Help is available!

Put the pieces of your life back together

Help for Inmates is a site dedicated to helping inmates through the incarceration period as well as their integration back into becoming a productive member of society. A large part of this help is to provide support and assistance to the inmate families. Help for inmates has spent countless hours scouring the internet and researching the programs and services that can be helpful to inmates and their families. Most of these families do not know of these programs and generally have no idea of what's available to them, much less how to go about finding those programs. Help for Inmates has put in the time for them and will continue to compile and update the programs available on this one consolidated, easy to use, website. We believe these efforts will help lower the rate of recidivism (habitual relapse into crime) which is the underlying goal. On this site you will find many programs and services that should assist in reaching those goals. We hope you will join us and be a part of this much needed effort.
