Since its founding in 1968, when its first volunteers helped to support people in a local prison infirmary, CPO has developed into the largest organization of its kind in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Concord Prison Outreach (CPO) is a 501(c)(3) organization composed of a coalition of individuals and faith communities committed to helping people who are incarcerated build better lives for themselves and their families.

Concord Prison Outreach offers high-quality, transformative programs that focus on education, personal growth, and increased opportunity for incarcerated people and their families. Our programs and resources cover a wide range of subjects, and are utilized throughout multiple Massachusetts Department of Correction (DOC) sites within the Commonwealth.
