VENETA, Ore. - eMusicWire -- Adopt an Inmate, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing mentorship and support to those impacted by incarceration, is excited to announce the upcoming launch of its campaign, "Drop a Dime." Founded by siblings Rick and Melissa, the organization was born out of a personal journey that began with Rick's wrongful arrest in 2013. After nearly six years of unjust imprisonment, Rick was released in 2019, and together they have been working tirelessly to foster connections between outside volunteers and people in prison.
To commemorate a decade of impactful work, the campaign aims to collect dimes symbolizing the approximately two million people currently incarcerated in the U.S., along with millions more on community supervision and those affected by loss of voting rights, criminal records, and the ripple effects on families. "Reliable estimates indicate that one in three Americans has been touched by the system," said Rick. "Yet, due to stigma and shame,these stories often go unheard."
Campaign Highlights
The term "drop a dime," once synonymous with reporting to authorities, has been reimagined to symbolize the urgent need to expose the shortcomings of the criminal justice system. The campaign emphasizes the lack of rehabilitation resources, harsh prison conditions, and barriers to reintegration into society.

Key Goals of the Campaign:
● Build empathy and understanding about the realities faced by people in prison.
● Mobilize communities to advocate for systemic changes that prioritize rehabilitation and reintegration.
● Raise funds for the build of an interactive prison exhibit.
Interactive Exhibit:
A centerpiece of the campaign will be a prison immersive experience, including a cell constructed by justice-impacted volunteers Oregon. Featuring authentic fixtures and a soundscape that recreates the prison environment, the exhibit aims to provide visitors with a powerful immersive experience of incarceration,fostering dialogue and community engagement.
Our vision is to educate and inspire change by providing a glimpse into the lived experiences of people in prison," added Melissa. "We hope this leads to more inclusive policies and a reduction in recidivism."
Adopt an Inmate invites everyone to "drop their dimes" to support this cause and drive meaningful change.
