The National Council is a 501c3 organization founded in 2010 by a group of women incarcerated in the federal prison in Danbury, CT. Most were mothers, separated from their children. The mission of The National Council is to end incarceration of women and girls and create the infrastructure for the systems in support of building healthy, thriving people and communities.
The National Council also organizes against the incarceration of women globally through its International Network.
Our mission was, and continues to be ending the incarceration of women and girls.
