We Are The Go-To For People In Prison And Families.
We provide direct assistance to incarcerated people and families, work to ensure vital support networks are kept alive through incarceration, and provide a window into the closed world of prisons, exposing the most serious issues.
Our Unique Access
We Are The State’s Only Independent Monitor Of Prisons.
The Prison Society is the only organization in the Commonwealth with legal authority to visit any prison or jail. We are on the ground in all 85 correctional institutions in Pennsylvania, connecting with a community hidden from public view, and providing honest and timely first-hand reports and data.

We exist because no one should face incarceration alone.
With your support, we are able to visit prisons, assist families traveling long distances to see their loved ones, and elevate the stories that too often go unheard. If our work is meaningful to you, we invite you to contribute. Every donation—large or small—helps us show up for people and families across the state, week after week.
