This we want to talk about the history and mission of PACE.

Public Advocates in Community re-Entry (PACE) Indianapolis started in 1960 with a volunteer prison outreach program.
Offender Aid & Restoration (OAR) began in 1968 after a prison riot in Virginia, which inspired people to come together to help solve the problem. OAR started working in Marion County in 1982 to make the justice system fairer. PACE and OAR joined forces in 2002, focusing on sending volunteers to help in jails and prisons.

Later, they noticed more people leaving prison without support, so PACE/OAR changed how they worked and began helping people transition from prison back into the community with services like reuniting families, housing, support groups for substance abuse, and education.

PACE has been supported by United Way of Central Indiana since 1967.

Our mission is to provide a range of services to justice-involved individuals and their families, enabling them to lead productive and responsible lives within their community. We do this by providing support, service, and resources to the men, women, and families working to re-enter the community. We created this tool to help you determine if PACE is a good option to help you and your family.

If we aren’t a good fit, we can recommend other services and programs in our community that may be better options. This process takes fewer than 3 minutes to complete. Ready to get started?
