Meet the team

We're a passionate group made up of everyone from data scientists to designers, engineers to enigmatologists, and criminologists to researchers. We believe that everyone impacted by incarceration should be able to stay in touch with their loved ones for free.

We are working as hard as we can to make that a reality.
