Aid to Inmate Mothers mission – To provide services to Alabama’s incarcerated women with an emphasis on enhancing personal growth and strengthening the bonds between inmate mothers and their children.

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

Aid to Inmate Mothers (AIM) Inc., was founded in 1987 by Church Women United, The Alabama Prison Project, The Alabama Department of Corrections and a group of committed volunteers who discovered that there were many women in prison who never saw their children. AIM’s founders recognized that children of incarcerated parents needed regular contact with their mothers, yet often couldn’t visit because their guardians were unwilling or unable to take them. In 1990, AIM separated from the Alabama Prison Project and became an independent nonprofit agency.

With a strong, statewide volunteer network, AIM continues to provide monthly visits for children to reunite with their incarcerated mothers. Guardians report that their children’s emotional health profoundly improves when the children see their mothers and helps them perform better in every aspect of their daily lives.

Group home

The Genesis House is an 8-bed transitional home in Montgomery, AL, that provides structured living, individual case management and job placement for women leaving prison. We provide our residents with basic hygiene, clothing, pay for ID or driver’s license (and take them for the driver’s test), provide bus passes, sign them up for food stamps, start email accounts, do resumes, help them find jobs, take them to interviews, link them to medical and dental services, and help them reunite with family. Residents can stay for one year after which we help them find permanent housing. For women in the community, we provide many of the same services, minus the housing. We will help place people in other transitional homes
