About Us
Time Served was founded in 2023 by a team of four passionate South Carolina women with combined decades of experience in the criminal legal system.
We are a nonprofit legal aid organization that provides direct legal services to currently and formerly incarcerated South Carolinians.
We believe in a world where people who have been impacted by mass incarceration have the opportunity for a fresh start upon release, free of the permanent stigma that currently attaches to individuals with criminal records.
We aim to replace despair with hope for currently and formerly incarcerated people in South Carolina.
Time Served is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit legal aid organization. We are a grassroots organization, with a majority of our funding coming from individual donors and local foundations.
Mission: Our mission is to improve the lives of currently and formerly incarcerated South Carolinians through direct legal services and litigation, and to dismantle extreme sentencing in South Carolina, with a particular focus on vulnerable populations whose criminal system involvement was rooted in part in other traumas and injustices they had experienced.
