Imperishable Restoration House
A Place to Begin AgainA Program of the Wrongful Conviction Trauma Center led by Marilyn Mulero
They Walked Out… Into a World That Moved On Without Them
Imagine stepping out of incarceration after 20… 25… even 30 years.
- The world you once knew is gone.
- Technology has changed.
- Society has changed.
- Even the way people communicate has changed.
For women who have endured long-term incarceration—and especially those who have been wrongfully convicted—the transition isn't just difficult…
It can be overwhelming.
Disorienting.
Even traumatic.
Disorienting.
Even traumatic.
That’s where the Imperishable Restoration House steps in.
More Than a Place to Stay — A Place to Heal
The Imperishable Restoration House is not a shelter.
It is not temporary housing.
It is a sacred space of restoration.
A place where women are given the time, support, and guidance to:
- Heal from deep trauma
- Relearn life skills
- Rebuild confidence
- Reclaim their identity
- Step forward into a future that once felt impossible
This is where survival turns into living again.
Healing the Invisible Wounds
Long-term incarceration leaves more than lost time—it leaves trauma that many cannot see.
At Imperishable Restoration House, we provide:
- Trauma-informed care
- Counseling and therapy support
- Emotional and mental health guidance
- A safe, stable, and peaceful environment
Because healing isn’t optional… It’s essential.
Relearning a World That Has Changed

- Smartphones
- The internet
- Online applications
- Digital communication
- Everyday technology
We walk alongside each woman as she learns to:
- Use cell phones, laptops, and modern tools
- Navigate the internet safely and confidently
- Apply for jobs and housing online
- Obtain identification, including driver’s licenses
- Secure insurance and essential services
No one is expected to figure it out alone.

This program is designed to help each resident build a sustainable, independent future.
We provide support with:
- Employment readiness and job placement

- Daily structure and accountability
- Life skills for long-term success
Every step forward is intentional. Every milestone matters.
Restorative Justice — Rebuilding What Was Broken

At Imperishable Restoration House, we believe in the power of restoration.
We help residents:
- Rebuild relationships with family
- Reconnect with their communities
- Heal broken trust
- Move forward with dignity and grace
Because reentry isn’t just about surviving outside… It’s about belonging again.
