"We envision a second chance culture where people released from jail or prison are empowered to live full and free."
Rahim Buford, Founder
UVO was incorporated in 2017 with a purpose to assist incarcerated Tennesseans to successfully transition back into the civic, economic, and technological community. Shortly thereafter, UVO acquired 501(c)3 status and concentrated more attention on organizing, educating, and policy construction to release more Tennesseans from prison.
