WLOS ABC 13 captured a day in the life of Deep Time with such dignity and faithfulness. Returning citizens deserve a real chance for stability and hope. Check it out!

Please join us in warmly welcoming NC NAACP and Deep Time to NCCADP!

During our spring coalition call, members unanimously voted both new partners into our movement. We're delighted to share that our coalition has now grown to 27 organizations.

The North Carolina State Conference of the NAACP works to “achieve equity, political rights, and social inclusion by advancing policies and practices that expand human and civil rights, eliminate discrimination, and accelerate the well-being, education, and economic security of Black people and all persons of color.” Their longstanding leadership in civil rights advocacy strengthens our shared work to challenge systems of injustice and build a more equitable future.

Deep Time is an Asheville-based coffee roaster and community space “celebrating, employing, and creating spiritual community with people impacted by incarceration.” Their work reflects the transformative possibilities of community-rooted reentry support.

Give these amazing organizations a follow if you haven't already!

⛓️‍💥THANK YOU⛓️‍💥

A few weeks may have passed, but we are still feeling the love from our community!

Second Chance Fest 2026 was an incredible day. We witnessed jobs being offered on the spot, children laughing and playing in the bounce houses, bikes flying around the pump track, plates of meatloaf and fried crab being passed around, books being dropped off to be sent behind bars, and most importantly, reentry resources being offered without stigma.

The icing on top of all of it was the $500 check that was able to be cut for from the sponsorships and donations raised!

One of our community partners shared “this is what heaven looks like!” We can only exist if our community is willing to support us. THANK YOU to the many hands involved in working to create a piece of heaven on Earth!

Deep Time Inside creates pathways from incarceration back to community ☕

05/15/2026

Last weekend we had the joy of spending the day at Second Chance Fest: Hope on Haywood.

We loved reconnecting with Gene Ettison, who hand prints all of NCCADP’s t-shirts, and spending time with our friends at Deep Time, a coffee roastery creating employment, support, and spiritual community with people impacted by incarceration.

Second chances mean stronger communities!
