Description

Can we keep prisoners connected to their support systems in the outside world?


Hear what Frederick Hutson, Founder of Pigeonly, has to say.


75% of prisoners in the U.S. are rearrested within five years of release. Studies have routinely shown that prisoners who maintain contact with their family and loved ones have better post-release results, as well as a lower rate of reincarceration. Frederick shares his own experience with incarceration leading him to create Pigeonly; a platform that makes it easy and affordable for families to search, find and communicate with an incarcerated loved one.
