Inmates are our children, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, extended family members and friends. Helping to support this vulnerable community is tantamount to supporting our families, communities, and fellows.

Inmates face the formidable task of reinventing their lives and identities when they walk out of prison. Many of them have lived decades within the rigid confines of prison. Navigating the intense transition back into the “outside world” can be distressing and disorienting.

Boomerang aims to meet the varied and individualized needs of each of our clients while they are incarcerated and upon their release. Our Community Management Team reaches out to inmates before they have even left prison to assess what type of support, they will need to restore their lives. Needs can fall on a broad spectrum, from locating birth certificates, social security numbers,  to finding family members, securing housing, or arranging for critical medical and psychological treatment.

To reinforce a network of support, Our Community Case Management team organizes workshops, social events and other opportunities for exonerees to exchange stories about their experiences.

We seek to network with other criminal justice reform groups and those organizations working on behalf of the wrongfully convicted.

We support by providing healthy living, stress management and coping mechanism for daily life. We also initiate and support legislative reform as it relates to better practices in prison and post release.

Families are the front line of support for the victims, but they also need their own support group.
