From Pipeline to Hope

CPP has encountered many formerly incarcerated people who grew up living on the streets. As children, they had little supervision and fell through the cracks without their basic childhood needs met(food, shelter, education, active parenting, and a safe community).

‍The Carrier Pigeon Post transforms futures by providing new stories of hope to pattern one’s life, offering pathways out of systemic and cyclical narratives that doom to poverty and recidivism.

The Carrier Pigeon Post desires to change the narrative.

Instead of receiving support, most were criminalized as kids.

The average person in state prison who is 39 years old, has a 10th-grade education. 62% of all those in state prison did not finish high school. Their fourth-grade test scores predicted it, and those test scores documented what was already in play by first and second grade. Educational loss in their early years, their prison sentence is also predictable in childhood .

Without intervention, those who are released from prison will return to prison, as nothing in their life story and patterns has changed. CPP steps into this space to make a difference in these lives. CPP interrupts, and offers hope for new life.
