Question

I am interested in helping women who are incarcerated. I live in Cincinnati, OH.

Answer 1

Check the Elizabeth Fry Society.

Answer 2

Ask your chapin. There are multiple groups working in and with prisons, both male and female. The Women's Aglow Organization have groups in virtually every state and nearly every city, There's also Kairos, which until recently has been primarily men but I know they have started a Women's Inprison group in Kansas. Multiple local churches have groups coming in and out of prisons all the time. there are aftercare groups who help women get back into society. Take the time to ask someone inside...and if you're serious, I'm sure something can be found for you.

Answer 3

You could call this number and ask what you could do.
SHARONVILLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 11006 READING RD CINCINNATI, OH [phone]

Also, just call the Jail directly. Usually they will allow you drop off books, writing paper....but not a bad idea to call first.

Perhaps you could work through a church group.
