In developing new self narratives, the people we serve are able to more effectively disrupt violence inside and outside prison, and become leaders who change negative societal narratives about those incarcerated for violent crime. Our groundbreaking approach is changing policy and outcomes, driven by the voices and experiences of system-impacted communities. 11 10 11 36 0 447803 1269382 95536 24870 0 41382 543339 1335634 0 0 298364 481108 0 68716 146221 173737 444585 654845 98754 680789 118897 889429 102093 118897 787336 UNCOMMON LAW'S MISSION IS TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO JUSTICE AND HEALING FOR PEOPLE IMPACTED BY INCARCERATION.
