How would you like to help?
Visitation and Letter Writing
Learn how to visit someone in detention, accompany them to court or become a pen pal to help end isolation.
Post-Release Support
Ask about helping with transportation, food, clothing, travel supplies, temporary shelter, or other immediate needs.
Donations and Volunteering
Support commissary funds, family communication, travel after release, and KWESI’s continuing volunteer work.
Monthly Meetings
KWESI generally meets on the third Saturday of each month from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Meetings include updates and organizing around visitation, post-release support, and advocacy. Please contact KWESI before attending to confirm the current location and remote-participation details.
Protect Your Privacy
KWESI does not provide legal advice, and this inbox is not an emergency service. Please do not send A-numbers, passports, immigration records, financial information, or other sensitive documents through general email. Contact us first so a volunteer can discuss an appropriate way to communicate.
