MISSION - WHAT WE DO
Jail Guitar Doors USA works toward a more fair and just America. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization providing musical instruments and mentorship to help rehabilitate individuals experiencing incarceration through the transformative power of music. Using the medium of collaborative music and songwriting for everyone, we strive to achieve measurable rehabilitative outcomes. We seek to advance new solutions to diminish prison violence and recidivism. We support organizations that engage in policy reform efforts and partner with social service groups to help people in prison successfully rejoin the outside world. And we actively work to educate leaders and decision-makers on how to bring real reform to the criminal justice system.
VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

Organizations interested in safer and more just communities have had to step into the breach of this disaster to heal the wounds. Jail Guitar Doors USA has accepted this challenge. Currently, in the United States of America, we have: • the equivalent to 5% of the world's population behind bars • 25% of all people experiencing incarceration in the world • 80,000+ human beings in solitary confinement • 50,000+ serving life without the possibility of parole • Widespread rehabilitation failure with more than 70% of those paroled re-entering the system • The world’s largest mental health facilities are actually the jails and prisons in this country. • People of color are grossly and disproportionately incarcerated. • The litany of wrongs and horrors is too long and too depressing to write out...
