HELL AND BACK

Explore HAB →

Information. Support. Room for your story.

Hell and Back brings together justice-system information and practical resources for people affected by the system.

Who HAB is for

People who are incarcerated, loved ones, children, teens, people affected by crime, professionals, lawmakers, media and the wider community.

How to use the information

Look for the recorded source and its qualifications. A listing does not establish endorsement, eligibility or current availability.

A growing project

The site and its Colorado research collection are still being built. Gaps are part of the work remaining, not proof that a service does not exist.

Help from HAB is free. Always.

No fees, paid memberships, purchases, or payment pages. You do not need a single penny to get help from HAB.

When a feature needs information, we ask only for the minimum needed to make that feature work. Our approach is to collect and retain only what the feature needs—not to build a detailed profile of you or your child. Hosting and security services may retain technical logs, such as IP addresses.
