  • About Us

    Friends Outside has been providing support to those incarcerated, their family members, and those recently released for over thirty years in Santa Cruz County.

    Our goal is to help reduce the trauma of incarceration for inmates and their families, to provide information that can lead to positive changes, and to assist post-release clients with their re-entry into the community. In general, Friends Outside acts as a liaison with concerned individuals, agencies, and the criminal justice system.
