Our Mission

We're here daily, hustling to shout from the rooftops about AIM and what we offer. Our amazing families, especially the kiddos, have our hearts! But the real cherry on top of the cake is the monthly Saturday rendezvous – it's like getting paid to have fun!

And while we're at it, we're also lending a hand to the women in Alabama prisons. They rely on us to give them the tools to flourish when they get out and keep those all-important family ties strong during their time away.

Aid to Inmate Mothers Mission

Our mission is to provide services for Alabama’s incarcerated women with emphasis on enhancing personal growth and strengthening the bonds between inmate mothers and their children.

At least 80% of incarcerated mothers have children and many kids do not have the resources to visit with their mothers. The guardians--often an elderly grandmother--struggle to support the unexpected family. AIM believes that to help the children, you must also help the Moms, since most Moms intend to retake custody when they are released. AIM helps by providing child-friendly visits. We help Moms read books on video and send them to the kids. We provide kids with school supplies and uniforms. We provide Parenting Education, Job and Life Skills classes in prison And we don’t just help during incarceration, we help when the Moms come home—through our group home and our reentry assistance. Our budget is tight, and there aren’t many sponsors for these programs--not always a popular group to support—but it is essential to help these families so that we can help stop the cycle of incarceration.
