    The Women's Prison Association

    Founded in 1845, WPA is the nation’s first organization dedicated to serving women and gender-diverse individuals impacted by incarceration and injustice. Rooted in New York City, WPA utilizes a gender-responsive, trauma-informed model of support by providing justice-impacted women and their families with the essential services needed to remain in their communities, heal, and thrive. WPA ultimately strives to make incarceration for women obsolete. 

     

    The Women's Prison Association and Home is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. EIN: 13-5596836.
