About Love Above Bars
Our Love Above Bars event celebrates the incredible network of volunteers, supporters, staff and partners that share the Prison Society’s vision for a Pennsylvania that values and safeguards the health, safety, and dignity of people in prisons and jails, and the people that love them. Join us for an evening of heavy hors d'oeuvres, wine and beer, entertainment, and a short program honoring our annual award winners:
- Joshua Vaughn, Human Rights Champion
- John Topper, Incarcerated Person of the Year (SCI Mahanoy)
- Ernest Fuller, Volunteer of the Year
- TBA, Correctional Employee of the Year
We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Triple Bottom Brewing for this year’s Love Above Bars celebration in their inspiring Philadelphia venue.
“Triple Bottom Brewing is honored and excited to be partnering with the PA Prison Society to host Love Above Bars this year. Our dedication to ensuring that people who have been involved in the justice system have fair and dignified opportunities to build careers and change their lives is inspired and fueled by the work of organizations like the PA Prison Society. It is especially powerful to us that the team that will be working this event for Triple Bottom are members of our Future of Service Apprenticeship program, and have experienced the impacts of mass incarceration themselves. We know that the only way to make change is to collaborate across sectors and life experiences, and we are so thrilled to be able to collaborate with the PA Prison Society on this important and impactful event.”
