We help each other find our way to freedom. In Pennsylvania everyday incarcerated people and their families grapple with the broken system’s of commutation and parole. On the inside people share information and swap notes and are also lean on the knowledge of people who have taught themselves about the law in the law library. On the outside, however, it can be sometimes hard to know where to turn. Family members can feel isolated, confused and at a loss for how to help their families.

That’s why we at Amistad Law Project started the Hub For Mercy, a bi-monthly commutation support space.  Styled after participatory defense project the Hub for Mercy is a space where family members can ask questions about the process and brainstorm with others how they can help their incarcerated loved ones as they navigate the systems of commutation and parole. It happens every other month on the on the second Tuesday at 6 PM and occurs in the months of January, March, May, July, September and November.
