ASP Offers Volunteer Non-Profit Programs for Incarcerated Women at York Correctional Institute, Niantic CT – Since 2003

Our Mission

The Mission of A Sacred Place is to foster hope among incarcerated women of York CI in order to help them lead responsible, educated, spiritually enriched lives that are drug-free and crime-free.

“Somehow we find the strength
To swim to the distant shore of endurance
Journey to self-discovery
Walk the road to recovery

Despite suffering from self-inflicted wounds
Despite spasms of doubt in our hearts
Despite sins from our past
Somehow we find the strength
to endure, to survive, to live.”  -m

Our Programs

A Sacred Place provides programs addressing emotional and educational literacy, modalities
to foster healing, spiritual connection and a successful return to society.

Storybook Project

Studies have shown that helping a child maintain a bond with their incarcerated parent contributes to successful family integration upon release. Our volunteers record the voices of incarcerated mothers reading age appropriate books to send to their children.

Sacred Sweats

Women are often released after years of incarceration with only the clothing that was on them at arrest. Most often those clothes no longer fit or are inappropriate. With your help ASP provides new simple sweat-suits for women being released.
