Supporting Our Loved Ones Group of Alaska is an Online Support Group and informational resource for the families and friends of Alaskan incarcerated persons.
Young Alaskans collaborated with Indigenous artists this week to produce music about their culture, family and home.

Do you know children with an incarcerated parent in Alaska? If so, Keys to Life is offering a summer camp opportunity July 21 - 25. This is such a beautiful idea. Interested? DM me and I'll email you the application form, and can mail it to incarcerated parents, as well.
DOC has changed its policy to ensure that incarcerated people returning to AK communities have a valid ID. This helps decrease barriers to housing, employment, and behavioral health services. Happy #SecondChanceMonth
