ASP Offers Volunteer Non-Profit Programs for Incarcerated Women at York Correctional Institution, Niantic CT – Since 2003
Our Mission
A Sacred Place’s mission is to inspire hope among the incarcerated women at York CI, the sole women’s prison in Connecticut. By offering them resources and support, we strive to empower them to cultivate responsible, educated, and spiritually fulfilling lives, free from drugs and crime.
“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.

Barbara Mahon Fund
The Barbara Mahon Fund assists incarcerated women at York Correctional Institution who wish to pursue career-specific continuing education programs by covering the costs of tuition, books, and supplies.
Healthcare Education
Our Healthcare Education program offers classes that empower women to gain knowledge about specific health concerns and develop strategies for self-care. It is crucial that incarcerated women acquire the necessary knowledge to not only take care of themselves but also advocate for their ongoing care while incarcerated and in the broader community.
Sacred Sweeties
With your generous donations, ASP provides gift bags brimming with baby supplies, including clothes for newborns and infants, to York CI mothers who give birth at L&M Hospital in New London. Lovingly included are crafted crocheted toy critters (using donated yarns) created by York CI women.
