About Us

13:3 Collective is a faith-driven nonprofit serving incarcerated individuals through outreach, prayer, and encouragement. We build meaningful connections that remind them they are seen, valued, and not forgotten.

We also share and sell artwork and items created by those behind bars, with proceeds helping fund their inmate accounts and support their needs.

About

Restoring Lives Through Art

13:3 Collective was born behind prison walls, where we witnessed God’s power to restore hope. Partnering with incarcerated artists, we share their work, fund commissary and reentry needs, and proclaim that no life is beyond redemption in Christ.

Our Story
A carefully organized reentry resource desk featuring a clean manila folder stamped "Release Plan" in blue ink, resting atop a stack of printed checklists and brochures about housing, employment, and faith-based support. A modest ballpoint pen lies parallel to the folder’s edge, and a small cross pendant sits gently on top of the paperwork, its brushed metal surface catching the light. Behind, a corkboard displays pinned note cards with words like "Hope," "Grace," and "Second Chance" written in bold marker. Warm, soft overhead lighting creates inviting highlights and gentle shadows. Photographic realism, shot at a slightly elevated angle with sharp focus throughout, conveying structure, preparedness, and compassionate professionalism in a people-free scene.

Our Team

A neat display table is arranged in a minimalist gallery-like space, featuring framed artwork created with colored pencils and ink. The central piece is a vivid landscape in a simple matte-black frame, propped on a small easel, while surrounding pieces lie carefully stacked with corners slightly offset to reveal different designs. Beside them, a transparent donation box contains folded bills and a handwritten label reading "Commissary & Reentry Support." Diffused overhead lighting creates soft reflections on the donation box and subtle shadows beneath the frames. Photographic realism, composed using the rule of thirds from a slightly elevated angle, with a calm, professional atmosphere that communicates purpose, stewardship, and hope without any human figures present.
On a neutral background, a carefully arranged flat lay displays a collection of prison-approved art and stationery items: dull-tipped colored pencils, a small stack of pre-addressed envelopes, a lined composition notebook with a plain cover, and a transparent commissary receipt listing hygiene and food items. At the center lies a finished drawing of a dove breaking through stylized chains, meticulously shaded. Overhead, diffused studio lighting creates even illumination with soft, almost imperceptible shadows, emphasizing textures and hand-worn surfaces. Photographic realism with a clean, professional aesthetic, captured from directly above with sharp focus across the frame. The mood is quietly powerful and dignified, illustrating how creative work is transformed into practical support for commissary and reentry, without any depiction of people.
A cardboard shipping box sits on a clean table, its flaps open to reveal thoughtfully packed reentry essentials: a neatly folded plain sweatshirt, basic toiletries organized in clear pouches, a slim devotional booklet, and a small spiral-bound sketchpad resting on top. A printed label on the box reads "Welcome Home Kit" in a simple, modern font. A roll of packing tape and a black permanent marker lie nearby, hinting at ongoing preparation. Soft afternoon light from a side window casts long, gentle shadows and a warm tone across the contents. Photographic realism, composed with the box centered and shot from a three-quarter overhead angle, evoking readiness, care, and new beginnings without any people shown.
