THE STONECATCHERS SOCIETY
Dedicated to supporting incarcerated individuals by providing access to educational opportunities and resources.
Mission
With a belief that justice is rooted in the restoration of relationships and the rehabilitation of people, The StoneCatchers Society provides educational resources and college scholarships to incarcerated individuals while advocating for common-sense criminal justice policies in Iowa and Nebraska. Our efforts strive to enhance the lives of those we impact and reduce the effects of mass incarceration; cumulatively achieving equitable outcomes for all of society.
Vision
We envision an America where recidivism rates are supplanted by increased rates of individuals re-entering society with a college degree which is made possible through investments in people, their education and opportunities.
Values
(Justice) Restores: Interaction > Isolation
(Equity) in Action: Increase access to educational opportunities
(Education) is power: Learning opens doors bars can't close
StoneCatchers encourage the downtrodden, educate themselves about the criminal justice systems, presume innocence until proven guilty, and lend support to all victims and offenders of crime.
