Prison Free Funds can help you find out if your money is invested in private prisons, exploitative prison labor, and immigration detention centers.
For-profit firms have flooded money into prison and detention center infrastructure and services, and have used industry associations to lobby for harsher policing and longer sentencing, even for non-violent offenders. Mass incarceration, a manifestation of racist policy, is particularly devastating for poor communities, immigrants, people of color, and their families. Inmates work for pennies per hour while their families pay exorbitant fees to keep them supplied with bare necessities. Powerful private equity interests and corporations are deeply involved with the militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border and the policing of immigration.
Using this free online tool and our action toolkit, you can harness your economic power to shift your savings away from these systems of oppression and exploitation.
Prison Free Funds focuses on two aspects of the prison industrial complex: companies involved in the prison industry (such as private for-profit prison operators and prison services providers), and companies involved in the militarization of borders and the policing of immigration.
