The resources below are meant to support your teaching about mass incarceration. We have seen congregations enjoy great success in moving hearts and minds with the combination of movie screening followed by panel discussions or conversations over a meal. We hope you’ll find each of these offerings helpful.
If you know of further curricula and are willing to share them, please email us at [email protected].

Faith in Action – Expungement
There is a growing national movement to help people who have had criminal justice involvement get their lives back on track through expungement, the legal process of clearing someone’s criminal record. Expungement policy varies widely from state to state. It often requires expensive legal assistance and court fees—putting it out of reach for millions of people who are legally entitled to this relief from the stigma of a criminal record.
