Our board has seen the inside of dozens of jails and prisons; through personal incarceration, hundreds of visits to friends and family, and as volunteers.
Help us welcome our newest volunteer, Leonides Morales. Leo identifies as a 42 yr old Hispanic-Middle Eastern man, who has a huge love for his family. Leo was in the penal system for 24 years, and was released for the very last time September 2, 2019. He has 7 children and 3 grandchildren, and an amazing partner who supports him and lifts him up. Leo chose to volunteer with Released to show people there is a life after incarceration and it’s better than we think...
My name is Nicole Becerra. I joined Released because of my interest in the legal system. I aspire to become a lawyer, and want to learn about what that entails from the perspective of those I hope to assist and represent someday. I speak English & Spanish but have a deep love for music in all languages.
