Help 30 Families Heal After Incarceration

Support the 6th Annual Surviving Justice Retreat

For many families impacted by incarceration, the hardest part isn't just prison — it's what happens after someone comes home.

Families must rebuild trust.
Children reconnect with parents they have missed for years.
Returning citizens try to heal from trauma while finding their place again in their families and communities.

At Life After Release, we believe families deserve more than survival after incarceration — they deserve healing, joy, and the chance to rebuild together.

Six years ago, we created the Surviving Justice Retreat, a three-day healing experience designed specifically for families impacted by the criminal legal system.

This year we are hosting our 6th Annual Retreat in Ocean City, Maryland, bringing together 30 families and approximately 110 participants for a powerful weekend of healing, connection, and community.
