Right now, access to meaningful education, rehabilitation, and connection varies dramatically depending on where someone is incarcerated. Unlock Day is about removing these barriers, advocating for every incarcerated individual—whether in state, county, or federal facilities—to have access to transformative learning and communication tools. By working with policymakers, corrections leaders, and community advocates, we are pushing for a future where access isn’t a privilege, but a standard across all correctional systems in the U.S.

Unlock Day is not just about advocating for systemic change—it’s about direct impact. Our goal is to expand Edovo’s reach to the other half, the one million incarcerated individuals who don't yet have access, giving them the tools they need to prepare for reentry, build new skills, and stay connected with loved ones. Every dollar raised, every voice amplified, and every partnership formed on Unlock Day brings us closer to ensuring that more people have access to high-quality education and rehabilitation resources, regardless of where they are incarcerated.

Mass incarceration in the U.S. has long been defined by cycles of recidivism, underinvestment, and systemic barriers to rehabilitation. Unlock Day is about shifting this paradigm. By expanding access to technology, education, and opportunity, we are working to redefine what prison systems can and should be—centers for growth, preparation, and successful reintegration into society. Unlock Day is a step toward a future where rehabilitation is prioritized over punishment, and where every facility is equipped to support transformation.

The impact of Unlock Day goes far beyond those currently incarcerated. When people in prison have access to education and meaningful rehabilitation, families grow stronger, communities heal, and generational cycles of incarceration begin to break. Children of incarcerated parents are six times more likely to face incarceration themselves—but access to education, communication, and opportunity changes that trajectory. Unlock Day is about unlocking not just individual potential, but a future where incarceration is no longer passed down as an inheritance.
