Our Mission
To stand by individuals and families enduring hardship before, during, and after incarceration,
Pidyon Shvuyai Yisroel/PSY's guiding principles are:
That every member of the community going through distress is deserving of support without reservation or judgement.
Individuals going through legal challenges need support from their initial contact with law enforcement, through incarceration and reentry back into the community.
That families of individuals facing incarceration have to contend with significant financial and emotional hardship and need comprehensive support in order to sustain themselves and preserve the family structure.
Family support is necessary for the survival and well being of the individual during incarceration and for successful reentry into the community.
