From the beginning, Inside Out has engaged with the wider community to educate people about obstacles returning citizens face, including voting rights. We've also sponsored forums on needed criminal legal system reforms with legislators. And gardening together with IO members, staff, volunteers, and church members was a great way to promote healthy bodies, minds, and spirits during our early years! #reentry #reentrymatters

The yearly offering from Inside Out Reentry Community (IO) is a rare glimpse into the creativity and resilience of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals across the state of Iowa.
