Our mission statement:
CellPals! is a
prison pen pal organization that seeks to aid inmates in finding positive
influences during a given term of incarceration. It is hoped that a healthy
pen pal relationship will not only be a positive experience for many
prisoners, who have had, few but will also aid in lowering the recidivism
rates of America's prisons.
It is the intention that if recidivism rates are lowered then not only will
our community benefit from lower victimization rates, but so will the
prisoners as they are more apt to return to society, after their release, as
an active, positive member of society.
Rehabilitation efforts are essential for our communities and for those who
are incarcerated. Through community efforts of rehabilitation not only do we
succeed by lowering our chances of becoming victims, but also do those who
may otherwise have no other hope... the prisoner.
