Welcome home!
Returning from prison or jail can come with many challenges: complicated probation requirements, heavy expectations from loved ones, and stigma in the community, to name a few. Released is here to offer navigation and empowerment with compassion as you find your footing on the outside.
Released is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Any donation to Released is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Released was founded in 2023 in Gainesville, Florida. Released is built by people who have been impacted by incarceration. We came together after recognizing that we each had a passion for filling a gap in our community to make space, advocate, and legitimize the experience for those returning from carceral systems.
People with lived experience are the heartbeat of Released. We come to this intersection of addressing broken systems and working inside of these entities guided by our own experiences and evidence-based professional & academic endeavors.
Florida's incarceration rate is almost 20% higher than the rest of the United States.
Released is dedicated to strengthening the fabric of our community by disrupting the cycle of incarceration using collaborative approaches and trauma-informed compassion.
