The “300 Heroes” is a FREE support group that provides caretakers with a space to process their experience, understand their new roles, develop skills and build connections while their loved one is incarcerated. These are the HEROES of 300 Letters and the backbone of families.The caretakers who stepped up and saved the family unit by deciding to not only care for themselves but also for the children in their family.
300 Letters was founded by Legend and Amanda Tarver, who were both incarcerated at the same time leaving behind their
eldest son and learning a new son was on the way 2 weeks into their sentence.
300 Letters is focused on creating and maintaining the bond between recently released parents and their children. We wish to help families recover from the trauma of incarceration so they are not defined by their experience, but rather the way they managed it.
We aim to be POWERFUL partners for the families returning to their communities because we understand what it takes.

Our mission at 300 Letters is to treat incarceration as a family affair by providing emotional support, financial relief, resources and confidence to the families that have been impacted by the criminal justice system.
By creating a community of resources, our goal is to break the generational curse of incarceration and prevent children from becoming another statistic.
300 Letters envisions a positive future for families recovering from incarceration experiences. Mass incarceration in the United States is a pervasive problem that affects many families and communities.
Nearly half of U.S. adults have an immediate family member who has been to prison. We believe we can normalize and humanize this experience and reduce the stigma associated with incarceration which ultimately affects the life prospects of those impacted, including their families.
