I Was A Stranger
Letters, an open Bible, and two people's clasped hands on a sunlit desk

A Christian nonprofit

No one should have to face the justice system alone.

We support incarcerated people who have no one on the outside—connecting them with trusted legal resources, pro bono attorneys, legal-aid organizations, advocates, and reentry support.

“I was in prison, and ye came unto me.”
Matthew 25:36 (KJV)

How we help

Walking alongside people who have no one else.

Legal Resource Navigation

Helping people understand where to turn and what resources exist for their situation.

Attorney & Legal-Aid Referrals

Connecting people with pro bono attorneys and legal-aid organizations when available.

Advocacy & Case Support

Helping organize information and communication so a person's needs are heard.

Reentry Resource Connections

Linking people with housing, ID, employment, and community support for release.

Why this matters

Justice shouldn't depend on who you know.

Many people in prison have no family, money, or outside connection to help them find a lawyer, request records, or prepare for release. Without someone on the outside, it's easy to be overlooked. We want to be that someone.
