REUNITING AMERICAN FAMILIES WITH A PATHWAY TO JUSTICE ECONOMIC STABILITY & RELATIONAL WELLNESS WITH CHRIST BASED VALUES
ABOUT US
The AMERICAN KING FOUNDATION is a 501 c 3 non-profit organization that was founded by Angela Stanton-King. A.K.F. focuses on criminal justice reform, re-entry, and reuniting American Families throughout the United States of America that have been affected by the laws of mass incarceration. A.K.F. provides returning citizens and their families with a pathway to justice, economic stability, and relational wellness.
OUR MISSION
Nearly 200,000 youths enter the adult criminal justice system each year, most for non-violent crimes. On any given day, 10,000 juveniles are housed in adult prisons and jails. 80 % of them are children of incarcerated parents.
AKF VISION
According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), 2,220,300 adults were incarcerated in US federal and state prisons, and county jails in 2013 – about 0.91% of adults (1 in 110) in the U.S. resident population. Additionally, 4,751,400 adults in 2013 (1 in 51) were on probation or on parole.
GET INVOLVED
In 2010, researchers from the Bureau of Justice Statistics found that about 1.9 million children younger than age 18 had a parent currently incarcerated. A more recent survey estimated that about 5 million children (approximately 7% of all minor children) had experienced the incarceration of a residential parent at some point during their childhood.

700,000 Inmates released from State and Federal Prison each year.
Persons in poor households at or below the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) (39.8 per 1,000) had more than double the rate of violent victimization as persons in high-income households (16.9 per 1,000)
