Prison2Public Policy is an organization committed to returning full citizenship to all justice-impacted individuals by providing diverse methods to participate in municipal government.

Additionally, they work to enact policy that allows for greater transparency and accessibility within the courtroom by enabling recorded audio and video clips to be uploaded during proceedings and organize monthly roundtable discussions for the input of justice-impacted men and women for debriefing and support.
