Description

New Vision Organization was founded in 2004 and was initially advocating for the incarcerated men, women and youth nationwide. In 2014, the focus was changed to address and advocate for the first-time offenders serving life and life without parole for a first time offense of any type in Massachusetts ONLY. NVO Volunteers assist the incarcerated with various issues and/or goals. Many incarcerated individuals seek help with civil rights' violations, such as being denied access to educational and vocational programs, being put in Solitary Confinement on bogus disciplinary reports, etc. While others seek help with advocacy in areas of denial of medical and/or psychological treatment. New Vision Organization, Inc networks with advocates nationwide and shares and obtains valuable resources pertaining to Probono Legal Help, Free Books to Prisoners, Pen Pals, Educational Correspondence Courses and much more. Media is denied access to the prisons which is a serious problem as prisoners have no voice. Thus advocates working with the incarcerated are their voices and allows for opportunities to get the stories out to the media if it involves abuses, deprivations, violations, denied medical and/or psychological treatments, etc.
