Mission Statement
The Osborne Association serves individuals, families, and communities affected by the criminal justice system. Through our programs, we offer opportunities for people to heal from and repair harm, restore their lives, and thrive. We challenge systems rooted in racism and retribution and fight for policies and practices that promote true safety, justice, and liberation.
About This Cause
The Osborne Association is a New York 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1933 to honor Thomas Mott Osborne, a former mayor of Auburn, New York who spent a week in prison in 1913 disguised as an “inmate.” During this time, he experienced the dehumanization of incarceration and the humanity of incarcerated people. Almost 90 years later, Osborne serves more than 12,000 justice-involved people and their children and family members. We work to transform individuals, families, communities and the criminal justice system through services, advocacy, and training. We seek to create a system not fixated on punishment, but on reconciliation and healing. We thus design, implement, and advocate for innovative and replicable solutions that prevent and reduce the damage caused by crime and incarceration.
