What it does

Ameelio is a non-profit that's building free technology to transform corrections and criminal justice. We've recently launched Letters, our first application that lets loved-ones of incarcerated persons send physical mail for free.

By connecting incarcerated people with support networks, we cut recidivism and sustainably reduce prison populations. Ameelio’s ecosystem of products helps everyone — from families to corrections officials to service providers — empowering successful reentry from day one.

Ameelio democratizes access to correctional communication and education technology. By virtually connecting incarcerated people with support networks and vital resources, we cut recidivism and sustainably reduce prison populations. 95% of incarcerated people will return to our communities. It's critically important that we transform American incarceration toward being focused on reentry and social integration . Isolation from loved ones and resources prevent incarcerated individuals from successfully reentering society. Ameelio’s ecosystem of products helps everyone — from families to corrections staff to educators and service providers — empowering successful reentry from day one. We work…from ameelio.org

    I have a bad memory and can't memorize some important numbers, so I created this project. I've always been concerned about being without my phone (getting robbed - which is common in Brazil - running out of battery, having it break, etc.), so I decided to create a page that sends SMS messages (LLM-summarized) and emails with more detailed information such as geolocation, IP address, and the full message. It’s a simple page that allows sending one or more messages, with recipients being myself and other people - for example, in case I or they need help or need to communicate something…
