Unite the People Inc. is a California-based nonprofit organization founded in 2014 by concerned citizens, defense attorneys, and families of incarcerated individuals. Their mission is to fight for social justice and advocate for prison and sentencing reform, aiming to bring about beneficial change for those affected by mass incarceration. Through campaigns and services, they strive to assist individuals who are incarcerated or their families, believing in the potential for rehabilitation and the importance of treating all people with dignity.
Unite the People Inc. works towards their goal of rehabilitation-focused penitentiaries, not punishment, by providing legal services, consultation, and support to those seeking to better themselves during their sentence. They have successfully represented clients in appeals, helped individuals come off parole and get released, and advocated for resentencing and release for those who have served unjustly long sentences. With a focus on reuniting families impacted by mass incarceration, they call for an end to severe sentencing and the use of gang and gun enhancements that do not contribute to public safety. Through their efforts, Unite the People Inc. aims to be a beacon of hope and bring about much-needed reform in the criminal justice system.
