families and communities.
The Voice of the Formerly Incarcerated

We call ourselves the voice of the formerly incarcerated because, collectively, our staff has over 500 years of lived experience within state and federal correctional institutions. The foundation of our work at NO is about challenging stigma, breaking barriers, amplifying voices, and empowering communities.
We have a growing base of over 7,000 directly impacted members and allies ready to take action in our 10 regional chapters spanning the state; The Women's Chapter, Detroit, Flint, Lansing, Traverse City, Kalamazoo, Jackson, Grand Rapids, Washtenaw and Oakland County.
