Friends Outside in Sonoma County

Friends Outside in Sonoma County is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing cycles of violence, crime, and incarceration by empowering offenders and assisting them in their successful reintegration into families and communities. Established in 1982, the organization provides a wide range of services and programs for jail inmates and their families, acting as a vital bridge between the incarcerated, their loved ones, and the criminal justice system.

Located in the lobby of the Main Jail, the Drop-In Center facilitates services to address the needs of over a thousand inmates and family members each month. Guided by a volunteer Board of Directors, Friends Outside collaborates with various organizations to enhance the quality of life for those affected by incarceration while promoting second chances and family strengthening.
