Pre-Entry Support
Pre-entry support is one of the bridges we use to improve reentry outcomes. When possible, we provide preparation before release by sharing pathway information, connecting individuals to community resources ahead of time, and helping create a smoother transition back into society. This approach strengthens continuity and reduces the risk of returning to crisis after release.
Community Impact
In the community, we coordinate and connect individuals to:
- Employment and job training opportunities
- Education and career pathway support
- Housing and transitional support resources
- Mental health and substance use support referrals
- Mentorship and accountability-based guidance
- Youth prevention activities that reduce justice involvement
History Of Peace We Support
Between 2011 and 2015, incarcerated individuals in California organized three historic Hunger Strikes challenging long-term isolation practices in the Security Housing Unit (SHU). These efforts led to the Pelican Bay P.E.A.C.E. Agreement, widely known as the End of All Hostilities — a cross-racial commitment to reducing violence and promoting unity within prison populations.
The agreement contributed to safer prison environments, a sustained decline in conflict, and significant institutional changes across the state.
P.E.P. Talk Group emerged from this environment of accountability, collaboration, and shared responsibility. Founded inside Solano State Prison, the organization was built on the belief that preparation, unity, and structured support are essential to successful reintegration.
Today, that same foundation guides our work in the community.
