About this app

After Incarceration is a free accountability toolkit, community space, and public record — built from learned, lived experience, for people who've been mistreated by those with power over their lives.

WHAT YOU CAN DO HERE

— Hold Them Accountable —
Free plain-English tools that help you put a wrong in writing, with real legal citations, and show you which agencies can act on it. Four situations covered:

• Where I Live — landlord, housing discrimination, deposits, eviction
• How I Earn or Spend — wage theft, workplace, business fraud, banking
• A Government Officer — police, prison/jail guard, parole/probation
• I'm Not Sure — a general investigation-demand letter

We never store the text of your complaint on our servers. What you write is yours.

— The Gate —
A community space with no algorithms, no likes, no metrics. Just people, speaking plainly. Block and report are always one tap away; our team reviews reports within 24 hours.

— The Guard Brutality Database —
A public record of guard misconduct, kept outside the system that produced it. Reporter identity is never exposed — the incident is public, but who reported it is not.

— Exclusive Content —
Video and audio from the movement: pilgrimage footage, teach-ins, and conversations you won't find elsewhere. Free with an account.

— The Kitty —
A community fund, not a subscription. $2.97 per quarter — smaller than a subscription, bigger than a donation. Members get a quarterly art gift, early access to events, and a voice in where the fund goes. Everything in the app is free whether you give or not.

WHO THIS IS FOR

• People navigating re-entry or still inside the system's reach
• Renters, workers, and neighbors facing abuse they can't afford to take to court
• Families of people killed or harmed by guards
• Organizers building records the state won't keep

WHAT WE WON'T DO
• No ads. Ever.
• No selling your data.
• No paywalls on tools, video, audio, or the database.
• No algorithm deciding what you see.
Built by and for people with lived experience. Fiscally sponsored by Movement Strategy Center, a 501(c)(3).
Pay it forward. Sustain the struggle.
