Combating mass incarceration with technology

Ameelio democratizies access to prison communication and education technology. By virtually connecting incarcerated people with support networks and vital resources, we cut recidivism and sustainably reduce prison populations.

What we do and why we do it

We are a tech nonprofit that works with departments of corrections and other stakeholders to achieve our shared rehabilitative missions.

95% of incarcerated people will return to our communities. It's critically important that we transform American incarceration toward being focused on reentry and social integration. Isolation from loved ones and resources prevent incarcerated individuals from successfully reentering society.

Unified platform

An full ecosystem of communication, education and reentry products

Ameelio’s ecosystem of products helps everyone — from families to corrections officials to educators and service providers — empowering successful reentry from day one.

We work with departments and other criminal justice stakeholders  to identify how to best leverage communications and education technology in order to achieve best outcomes.

Ameelio focuses on increasing contact with families and expanding access to education, vocational training, and reentry resources.

Our products are built to reduce recidivism and infractions while improving the mental and financial wellbeing  of those impacted by incarceration. Ameelio brings hope into prisons and jails.

Quotes

We really wanted to find a platform that would create that extra layer of security. We’ve had video visits from 44 states and 12 different countries. Incarcerated people have something to look forward to with these [free] video visits. I can even see it helping with disciplinary issues internally and potentially shifting our culture. I think it gives people hope.

Quotes

Maintaining family contact is a huge benefit to people behind the walls, it should not be a fanciful goal. I don’t view it [familial contact] as an extra privilege for a few. Of course people want to know what’s happening |behind the walls. I want there to be ease of communication and to make it as cost-efficient as possible.
