Prison Communications Data & Reports

JHA serves as a critical resource and outlet for incarcerated people in Illinois. Incarcerated individuals often have limited access to information from reliable sources and little contact with the outside world. JHA provides a human connection as well as needed information.

JHA reads every letter and email sent to us, and listens to all voicemails; we track the information reported to us. This provides us with valuable quantitative information we use in our advocacy work - both when working with individual correctional facilities and when seeking system-wide reform. Unfortunately, as demand has outpaced supply, we are currently unable to respond to all communications sent to us.
