From Incarceration to Inspiration
This exciting venture celebrates a community often overlooked—until now.
We have created the first Museum dedicated to the successes of formerly incarcerated individuals. The F.I.R.M.—Formerly Incarcerated Renaissance Museum is located on the grounds of, and is fueled by, the 501c3 nonprofit organization Why Not Prosper, Inc. in Germantown, PA.
The F.I.R.M pays homage to the talents of formerly incarcerated individuals, especially women, in America. Works will archive the history and resources in the presentation of artifacts and permanent and temporary exhibitions. The overall goal is to display, collect, and preserve artifacts demonstrating how ideas and thought processes are relevant to the experiences of, and the history of, incarceration and its impact on individuals now released into society.
