Our Mission
Inside Circle empowers system impacted people to lead change from within by providing opportunities for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people to heal and serve both themselves and others. We exist to reduce recidivism and all forms of violence – physical, emotional, and psychological – in our prisons and communities.

We are delighted that the full-length documentary film about our impact in Folsom State Prison, THE WORK, won the Grand Jury Award at the SXSW film festival in 2017. Find out more about the film at theworkmovie.com and read some of its reviews below.
