AMEELIO

Ameelio was launched at the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Two Yale students, Uzoma "Zo" Orchingwa and Gabe Saruhashi saw the effects that family separation and isolation had on incarcerated individuals and their families. Zo and Gabe went on to launch the first and only nonprofit provider of incarcerated persons communication services (IPCS). They envisioned Ameelio as an ecosystem of technology that enables loved ones to communicate with their incarcerated family members, and as a powerful advocate taking on the billion-dollar IPCS industry, dominated by two exploitative companies... Ameelio is a nonprofit technology team headquartered in New York City, and New Haven, CT. We began as an all-volunteer effort until late-2020. Since, we have built an A-team that brings together best-in-class technical and criminal justice expertise. Our engineering and product teams come from: Apple, Facebook, Red Hat, Kickstarter, and other leading tech companies... Ameelio is a technology..
