Inside Out Network

Inside Out Network Reentry, community, connection. Serving justice-involved individuals in IL, AZ, OR, & MS. Welcome Home!

650,000 people are released from prisons every year, and most service providers struggle to connect easily and effectively with them. Our pioneering website works like a dating site for reentry. Inmates and returning citizens can search, find relevant matches, and directly message service providers. Similarly, service providers become aware of relevant matches and can reach out personally and proa

ctively to returning citizens. Our online platform is being offered to, and is designed to serve, justice-involved men and women in IL, AZ & OR at the state/county/federal levels.

What an incredible show full of talented works of art. {Ink}arcerated is always amazing- artists from prisons all over the state, donate their artwork to be sold to raise money for scholarships. Not only does this give the incarcerated individuals an outlet for healing through art, but it gives them purpose through giving back, and it positively impacts recipients of the scholarship.

“All proceeds from the 2026 {Ink}arcerated Art Show will benefit an endowed scholarship fund to support the higher education of system-impacted individuals and their families.”

It was so great to see everyone!

Huge shoutout to ASU Center for Correctional Solutions and ADCRR for making this possible.

The Inside Out Network currently partners with several universities to hire interns who can help us continue to grow our network in our various states. What we do here at ION, would not be possible without their efforts.

Our Spring 2026 interns have now completed their time with us, so we wanted to express our gratitude for all of their hard work over the past 4 months. Thank you for everything, best of luck in your future endeavors!

About 2 weeks ago, we were able to continue the prison library rollout at the Lewis Prison complex. With the help of the wonderful staff at Stiner unit, we were able to visit both red and blue sides. Although we have some different challenges to overcome on close custody yards, thanks to a joint-team effort with ADCRR, we are making it happen for everyone, regardless of conviction history or custody status. All individuals who are within 11 months of release, are eligible to register with ION and begin connecting with service providers in the community who can help. Thanks for having us!

Six years ago, on April 20, 2020, we submitted our application to the IRS to become a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation with a mission to transform reentry for the better. We had a nationwide vision, a strategy with specific milestones, and an identified key “tipping point” along the way. It was a big deal. The Inside Out Network was officially born.

Almost exactly six years later, in April 2026, we received an email from ViaPath Technologies telling us that our years-long effort to get our revolutionary online reentry platform onto the computer tablets of adults in custody had finally been successful. Six years after our birth, we had finally reached our strategic tipping point: presence on a major tablet distributor. What a birthday gift!

Over the past six years, we’ve been constantly improving and refining our online platform. In fact, we’re still hard at it, with another half-dozen updates in the pipeline. We keep building and improving the tool. But we’ve also been busy building credibility and relationships—with departments of correction, community service providers, and, most of all, men and women returning from incarceration.

When I look back at where we were six years ago and then look around at where we are today, I’m filled with humility and gratitude for what God has done through us, as well as hope and eager anticipation for what lies before us. I think of all the wonderful people we’ve partnered with and what we’ve seen happen over these six years—what a gift!

-Over 17,000 returning citizens who have registered on ION to work on their reentry.
-Over 800 service providers who have registered on ION to connect with returning citizens.
-Fantastic partnerships and friendships with correctional staff across multiple states.
-Sacrificial financial giving by our supporters.
-Generous funding by grantmakers who’ve seen the promise of the work we’re doing.
-Over 100 wonderful student interns from Arizona State and other universities.
-Selfless service by our board members and volunteers.

Six years...and counting. Can’t wait to see what’ll happen by the time we turn seven!
