In the summer of 2025, community members in Northwest Ohio began paying closer attention to what was happening at the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio (CCNO). People were being held on immigration detainers, separated from their families, transferred far from home, and kept largely out of public view—often without local residents realizing it was happening at all.
What started as showing up—attending meetings, asking questions, listening to impacted families—quickly became something more urgent. We saw how easily harm thrives in silence, how accountability breaks down when no one is watching, and how profit-driven detention depends on community disengagement.
![\"community](\"/media/ccno.png.webp\"/)
Our work began by supporting detained neighbors directly—through letters, commissary assistance, and community connection—and grew into public accountability efforts: monitoring oversight boards, demanding transparency, educating residents, and building coalitions with groups across Ohio who were asking the same hard questions.
The Social & Immigration Justice League exists to make sure our neighbors are not treated as invisible, disposable, or unworthy of dignity. We believe real change starts locally, with people who are willing to show up, tell the truth, and stay.
Accountability
We believe in operating with full transparency. Below you'll find our organizational information, financial documents, and governing policies.
