Our Goal

Connecting Families aims to make Communication Services free of charge for Incarcerated Loved Ones and their families in Wisconsin.


Communication with loved ones outside interrupts the toxicity of prisons and jails that reproduces harm and creates despair. One in three families with an incarcerated loved one goes into debt trying to maintain contact while enriching predatory correctional telecom corporations. Regular communication with support systems allows incarcerated people to plan for release, which includes securing housing and employment, two critical needs for people coming home. However, correctional telecom corporations enjoy monopoly contracts over prisons and jails, ensuring that incarcerated people and their families have no choice in which service provider they use or what rates they pay. No matter whether someone is behind bars or not, we all deserve to communicate with our loved ones without going into debt to connect with the people that matter most to us.

At Worth Rises, they are fighting to make prison and jail communications costs free through our Connecting Families campaigns. So far, they've saved families almost $300 million and have passed this legislation in 5 states (CT, CA, CO, MN, and MA).  We are grateful to be bringing Connecting Families to WI with their support.
