**Night on the Yard** is a transformative NFT virtual gallery advocating for our friends on the inside. Our platform highlights the artistic talents of incarcerated individuals, offering them a space to showcase their creativity, receive fair compensation, and be celebrated for their efforts.

Our Mission

The numbers are stark:

• Over 2.1 million people are held in more than 810 prisons across America.
• Families spend over $2.9 billion annually on basic necessities like phone calls and commissary.
• Upon release, 27% of formerly incarcerated individuals face unemployment, earning an average daily wage of just $0.86, equating to a lifetime income loss of nearly $500,000.

Night on the Yard exists to challenge this system, aiming to:

• Humanize those captured by it.
• Provide financial support directly to the artists.
• Inspire others to push for restorative solutions over punitive systems.

Through art, we hope to foster empathy, spark change, and move closer to a society that values rehabilitation, equity, and humanity over punishment.

Why We Exist

Let's Create Solutions

1 in 12 American children will experience parental incarceration, leaving families to navigate the ripple effects of financial loss, employment challenges, and housing insecurity. Night on the Yard builds stronger communities by focusing on:

• Ending family struggles and supporting survivors.
• Reinventing rehabilitation to prioritize healing and self-expression.
• Providing resources like financial, emotional, and legal support.
• Encouraging social connection and creativity.
