Families and Friends of Prisoners Emergency Response Network Mission Statement

These days being arrested, jailed or imprisoned is an all too REAL POSSIBILITY for ANYONE! Anything from a routine traffic stop , to civil disobedience, being held because you fit some agencies' “PROFILE”, all the way up to being wrongly charged with murder; the criminal justice system may subject you to its TWO TIER system: one tier for those with money and another tier for everyone else.

The MISSION of the Families and Friends of Prisoners - Emergency Response Network (FFP-ERN) is to provide immediate help and comfort to loved ones and friends, as well as to hapless prisoners, who find themselves in that situation.

The FFP-ERN will respond to such situations in the following manner:

1.When individuals find themselves needing EMERGENCY help from people while in jail or prison, s/he can activate the FFP-ERN.
2.The family member or friend will in turn work with other FFP-ERN people to find ways to immediately start getting help to the PRISONER, and
3.In return, each request and every effort made to bring relief will expand the NETWORK of people who can work together to stop the criminal justice system from isolating and dehumanizing any of their loved ones and friends.
