Florida inmates are a special population with distinct informational needs.  FreeRein's mission is to empower Florida's incarcerated and ex-offenders with knowledge and services that help them enrich their self worth, forge creative outlets, make informed decisions, and reach positive goals, thereby benefiting individuals, families, and communities.

FreeRein aims to fill the void left by overworked corrections personnel who lack the authority, know-how, resources, or motivation to assist one-on-one those proactive inmates and supervised ex-offenders trying to learn what they can to stabilize their lives.

"Florida is committed to the ideal of America being the land of second chance, as expressed by the President of the United States who declared: 'When the gates of the prison open, the path ahead should lead to a better life.'" 

Former Governor Jeb Bush, from Executive Order 05-28
