Why Cara does this work:

I am committed to this work because I firmly believe that a person's humanity should never be diminished by incarceration, and they should continue to receive the resources and opportunities necessary to transform their lives. Being part of an organization that actively stands against injustice and systems of harm is my greatest motivation.
