In developing new self narratives, the people we serve are able to more effectively disrupt violence inside and outside prison, and become leaders who change negative societal narratives about those incarcerated for violent crime. Our groundbreaking approach is changing policy and outcomes, driven by the voices and experiences of system-impacted communities. 9 8 38 15 0 3986555 2951671 0 0 86066 69604 4072621 3021275 0 0 2292366 2640219 0 101737 685902 788374 2978268 3428593 1094353 -407318 4369006 4222000 450563 710875 3918443 3511125 UNCOMMON LAW'S MISSION IS TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO JUSTICE AND HEALING FOR PEOPLE IMPACTED BY INCARCERATION.
