What We Do
Evolution… Development, Change, Advancement, Growth, Rise, Progress & Unity
We are dedicated to the evolution of the criminal legal system by providing free support services and creating opportunities for the justice-impacted community. Families facing the legal system are no longer alone in their journey. When facing legal consequences often feelings of helplessness with shame and guilt leading to isolation occur. Due to breach of trusts many have been ostracized by families, friends and communities. Evolution is where #youwillbefound and never left to walk alone through the darkest moments of your life. At Evolution you are guaranteed Trust, Honesty, Acceptance and Transparency (THAT).
We Are With You Every Step Of The Way, helping you Transition into a new life .
Our team members have walked in your path and understand the journey from start to finish. Until now, there have been no resources dedicated solely for women facing incarceration or their families and children who also are affected and need support.
We are tearing down reentry as you know it and rebuilding it from the inside out. Our programs and support are unmatched with groundbreaking new innovative thinking and programs developed to create community throughout the country. No matter where you are all you have to do is reach out your hand and we will be there with resources across the country for any support that is needed. We help prepare you for prison, match you with a mentor inside prison and are waiting for you when you get home, never leaving your family’s side.
Evolution’s support groups are available nationwide online every night of the week focusing on the needs of women, families, the LGBTQIA+ community and our new men’s circle. With Evolution’s support groups, new life skills are born, all while building new relationships within a community who never judges but empowers you.
What does life after prison look like? You will never be stuck in reentry as we are redefining the meaning of reentry to rebuilding successful and meaningful lives. Working alongside you and your family, together we plant new seeds with strong roots for a bright future consisting of a financial reset through education, career building, family reunification, and homeownership.
The Evolution Promise
- We never over promise and under deliver
- You never pay a fee for guidance and help preparing for prison
- You never pay a fee to stay connected while inside prison
- Families will never be left wondering, scared and alone
- We will help you rebuild your life after prison because you are worthy
- We vow to always work alongside you together in community.
We will never walk away if you fall at any point, lifting you up higher each time.

Hear it from those we've helped!
Justice Impacted Specialists
Helping those who are justice-impacted and their families navigate the legal system one step at a time.
Family
"It's not what we have in our life, but who we have in our life that counts." It starts with family. We will help with reconnecting with your family members and children. We provide children peers to talk with who have had their mother incarcerated and know what it feels like.
Mentoring
We have mentors who have walked in your shoes and understand your situation with no judgment and have the experience to help you navigate the steps from being charged, sentenced, preparing for prison, and throughout reentry. You are no longer alone.
Mental Health
Being arrested, charged, put on trial, and incarcerated are traumatic experiences that can lead to unstable psychological states for everyone involved directly or indirectly. Your personal mental health peer professional understands…because they have experienced it.
Social Interaction
Often people isolate themselves and feel alone while facing the legal system. You will be teamed with a Support Group of your peers who will embrace you and understand exactly what you are experiencing. We are a community full of love, so you are never alone.
Employment
With a felony, it is always a challenge to find employment. We help prepare you to get back to work as a productive employee in a field that you love. We offer FREE help and provide a personal employment coach to help you reinvent your new life for new successes.
Support Groups
Everyone needs support to know you are not alone. ERS hosts weekly support groups that are FREE and done virtually. Our support groups are designed to support, educate, and empower women and their families as they navigate through the criminal legal system.
The Wheel of Life
A Woman’s Wheel of Life is a way to take a good, hard look at each facet of your life, and rate its relative quality level, so you can uncover which areas need more attention than others. Consider each area like a spoke of a wheel: When one of the spokes is shorter than the others, it can throw the whole thing off balance. By getting this “helicopter” view of your life, you can identify where you are excelling and where there is room for improvement – to discover where the gaps are between where you are today and where you want to be.
THE EVOLUTION REENTRY NATIONWIDE NETWORK
Every act of generosity counts and everyone has something to give.
There are so many different ways to express generosity on @givingtuesday and every day! It’s a simple idea: whether it’s making someone smile, helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving some of what we have to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts and everyone has something to give.
