Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Crime & Law, Half-Way Houses for Offenders & Ex-Offenders, Inmate Support, Rehabilitation Services for Offenders
Mission: The national women's prison project (nwpp) was established in 2003 and now in its sixth year of services, after seeing the need for services solely for the almost "invisible" females, and has provided services to over one thousand women since its inception. Nwpp meets the needs of females transitioning from incarceration to the community by linking them to a continuum of transitional services that include job training, anger management, parenting classes, clothing assistance and many of the soft skills needed to integrate successfully back into society. Using a gender based approach, nwpp provides on-going classes, both inside correctional facilities before and after release. Once released, an individualized "plan of success" (ips) is created for each female to achieve the basics - housing, job training, substance treatment, health referrals and reunification with the family.
Programs: Mother's day conference - self esteem edification for women who have been released and currently living in transitional houses. Women celebrate freedom and are inspired through speakers to learn how to remain free. 193 women services
family re-unification "parenting classes" at mci-w - a 10-week parenting instruction provided inside the correctional facility bringing mother and children together to bond while parents learn effective parenting skills
rites of passage conference - allows women in the community to address issues of trauma and provides speacialist to assist in the healing process. 50+ women serviced.
christmas party for children of incarcerated parents "chips" - provides christmas gifts for children having incarcerated parents. Parties are given both inside of the correctional facility (2) and in the community. Over 250 children participated in this combined effort.
c-sap was an initiative to provide after care treatment follow up for women who had histories of substance use to connect with services after release that included drug treatment, transitional housing, mentors, computer instruction with case management services.
