Will our Brothers be Taken Back to Prison?

A heartbreaking and eye-opening look at what transpired to people in prison during the early days of the pandemic and how Tzedek saved lives by securing their release. Thanks to a life-saving provision in the CARES Act, countless families were joyfully reunited. Many more are home thanks to the Elderly Home Detention Pilot Program.

But all this might be coming to an end - very soon.

The Elderly Program expires this year and some out on the CARES Act may still need to return to prison, leading to a complete reversal of many bitterly-fought-for justice reforms.

If we don’t step up now, the devastating cries of the incarcerated and their families will forever haunt us.

The Pidyon Shvuyim PAC is our last hope!
