Compassion In Action

Pre-release education and reentry preparation are central to the services provided in practice. The program gives people confined in Nebraska Department of Correctional Services facilities opportunities to explore unresolved issues during incarceration and work toward changing their behavior. The organization also serves families affected by incarceration. Its work focuses on helping individuals prepare for reentry and addressing the effects of incarceration on families. Compassion In Action is a faith-based nonprofit organization, founded in 1984, serving individuals and families in Omaha and beyond through its Nebraska correctional services program. Donations support its work, including one-time and monthly contributions and purchases of bricks for a memory wall.
