Citizens United for Rehabilitation of Errants (CURE) is a United States prisoner support and prison reform organization that was founded by Charles and Pauline Sullivan in San Antonio, Texas, on January 2, 1972.[1][2] It has supported legislation such as the Second Chance Act and, most famously, the Federal Prison Work Incentive Act.
In August 1985, CURE became a national organization.[2] CURE has a branch devoted to federal prisoners among other things[3] and various state chapters.[4] There is a branch devoted to Florida prisoners and one in Dallas for Texas prisoners.[5] They maintain a Facebook presence.[6] There is also an international CURE.[7]
According to S. D. Williams in the journal Corrections Compendium, "One of the group's problems is that the population for which they lobby (prisoners) does not elicit much sympathy; outsiders frequently do not see the wisdom of giving resources to those who must be in prison."[8]
