Our Roots
Since our founding, WV Prison Reform has collaborated with community leaders, activists, and legal experts to push for bold, people-centered justice reform in West Virginia.
Collective Growth
With partners like AFSC and Mountain State Justice, we’ve expanded our reach—bringing legal support, reentry resources, and education into prisons and communities statewide.
Statewide Impact
From legislative advocacy with the NAACP to direct aid with the Reentry Councils, our work influences policy, reduces incarceration, and uplifts directly impacted families.
Shared Vision
Together with organizations like ACLU-WV, WV Center on Budget and Policy, and the WV Council of Churches, we are building a West Virginia that centers equity, dignity, and second chances.

American Friends Service Committee
Founded in 1917, the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is a Quaker organization that promotes lasting peace with justice, as a practical expression of faith in action. Drawing on continuing spiritual insights and working with people of many backgrounds, we nurture the seeds of change and respect for human life that transform social relations and systems.

Appalachian Prison Book Project
The Appalachian Prison Book Project is a nonprofit organization in Morgantown that mails free books to incarcerated people in six states, creates prison books clubs, and provides college tuition for incarcerated students enrolled in West Virginia University courses. Our work is grounded in the belief that education is a basic human right and that engaging the community is essential to creating educational and restorative justice.

Jefferson County WV NAACP
The Jefferson County WV NAACP Branch, established in 1946, has been a strong catalyst in the community and state for civil rights and social justice in that history. Over the past 2 years the branch has advocated a 50% reduction in WV jail and prison incarceration. This is a large goal, but even more is needed to end mass incarceration.
Toward this long term goal, a committee of the local branch meets to plan local advocacy monthly and participates in the Statewide Coalition meetings and criminal justice reform agendas. The WV state NAACP convention adopted and confirmed the 50% incarceration reduction goal at its recent conventions in resolutions proposed by our branch.
Mountain State Justice
Mountain State Justice opened its doors in 1996 to pursue impact and significant litigation on behalf of low-income West Virginians. Since that time, we have provided free legal services to thousands of individuals fighting to protect their families, their homes, their health and safety, and their livelihoods.
Since our founding, we have kept our practice flexible to meet the changing needs of low-income West Virginians facing mistreatment by powerful institutions—from banks and car dealers, to schools, state hospitals, and prisons. Criminal justice reform is central to our mission of fighting systemic injustice in the Mountain State.
American Civil Liberties Union
The ACLU is our nation's guardian of liberty, working daily in courts, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and laws of the United States guarantee everyone in this country. In its more than five decades of existence, the ACLU-WV has become widely recognized as the state’s foremost advocate of individual rights.
The ACLU of West Virginia is at an incredibly important cross-roads. The election of Donald Trump and the political environment in West Virginia present significant threats to civil liberties that cannot be taken lightly. However, the intense attack on civil liberties has caused a wave of support for our cause and a dramatic rise in civic engagement. The challenges facing civil liberties in West Virginia are undeniably acute. However, the opportunities to build a movement for a more just and free country are equally acute.

West Virginia Council of Churches
The West Virginia Council of Churches is an ecumenical organization that provides a Christian witness on public issues and engages in cooperative mission and service for all West Virginians. The Council is one of the oldest institutions in the state of West Virginia, tracing our origins back to 1880 and currently includes 15 member body denominations. Over the years, the West Virginia Council of Churches has been active in areas of social justice, health and economic issues, legislative issues, and disaster response.
West Virginia Family of Convicted People
WVFCP seeks to identify, support and lift the voices of people who have been directly affected by our brutal system of mass incarceration so that they can lead the movement to dismantle it.

West Virginia Reentry Councils
The West Virginia Reentry Councils were established by the West Virginia Council of Churches in an effort to bring concerned citizens and available resources together to assist those rejoining the community after incarceration. While each community has its own needs and each council has its own goals, these councils focus on issues such as housing, food stamps, employment, transportation, education and stigma. We invite those affected by incarceration to attend the meetings in their region. Anyone willing to donate their time to this cause is welcome.
