What We Do
From release to reintegration — we stand by them.
We provide support for the wrongfully and unjustly imprisoned in Pakistan and help them rebuild their lives after release. At the same time, we work for the policy and legal reforms needed to prevent injustice and end the cycle of wrongful detention.
Immediate Release Support
The day someone walks out of prison, we’re often the only people waiting for them who aren’t there to judge them. We provide clothing appropriate for a job interview or daily life, the fare to get home, and a modest livelihood grant — released in stages, tied to real milestones, not handed over all at once and forgotten. Total cost: roughly PKR 27,000– 43,000 ($95–$150) per person.
Counseling & Reintegration
Years inside — especially years inside for something you didn’t do — leave marks that don’t show up on a release form. We connect people with licensed counselors trained in trauma-informed care, run peer support and life-skills groups, and work with families to repair relationships that detention strained or broke. Sessions run weekly for the first three to six months, then monthly for a year, with crisis support available whenever it’s needed.
Legal & Documentation Support
Many people leave prison without the identity documents they need to open a bank account or apply for a job. We help replace what’s missing, connect people to legal aid partners for compensation claims tied to wrongful detention, and assist with the family-law matters — custody, property, sometimes divorce — that years of incarceration can leave unresolved.
Employment & Livelihood
A criminal record — or even just a gap in employment history that looks like one — is close to disqualifying in Pakistan’s job market. We help with resumes and interview preparation, connect people to vocational training, and work directly with employers willing to hire based on who someone is now rather than what happened to them.
Policy Advocacy
Individual support only goes so far while the system producing this crisis stays unchanged. We publish the evidence, and we push — publicly, and with the data to back it up — for bail reform, faster trials, and a legal right to compensation for wrongful detention that Pakistan does not currently guarantee.
Real People. Real Journeys.
Behind every number is a person — a parent, a child, a worker, a dreamer. We support their journey from release to a better future.
