Our vision of justice and healing extends beyond individual support. We actively collaborate with local organizations, advocacy groups, and community leaders to build networks of care that help people thrive after incarceration. By joining forces, we can create lasting change.
Outreach is not only about helping those directly impacted but also about transforming public understanding. Through workshops, storytelling events, and educational programs, we’re opening conversations about wrongful conviction, trauma, and reintegration turning awareness into action.
You can be part of this growing movement. Whether you volunteer, donate, or collaborate with us, your support fuels real change helping individuals to rebuild their lives and ensuring that wrongful convictions become stories of healing, hope, and resilience, not silence.
As we continue to expand, our goal is to bring reentry support and education to more communities nationwide. By developing scalable programs and sharing our model, we aim to make the lessons of Sunny and Peter’s experience a beacon of hope for all those impacted by the justice system.
Together, we can turn stories of injustice into stories of renewal and ensure that every person affected by wrongful conviction has the support they need to truly come home
Planning for Healing Retreats
Tucked into the quiet, rugged beauty of Ireland, the Sunny Healing Center is a sanctuary for rest, renewal, and reconnection. Surrounded by the wild Atlantic coastline, sweeping hills, and ancient stone, the land itself offers a deep sense of calm, an invitation to slow down and return to yourself. And the sea, well the sea was big enough to hold everything that has happened to us, and we could let it be carried away rather than hold onto it ourselves.
The Healing Center is currently in a period of redevelopment as its program is being thoughtfully renewed with a continued commitment to its core mission of supporting healing, independence, and personal growth.
At Sunny Healing Center, we’ve learned to create space for decompression and to be there to support the healing (whatever that healing may look like) growing through experiences and learning. Yoga, meditation, and therapeutic practices, support guests in grounding their bodies to the earth and with nature, calming the nervous system, and reconnecting with inner strength/voice. Whether returning to the self, returning to the community, navigating grief, or seeking clarity, this is a space where each person’s experience is met with care and respect. We are here to SEE you.
We believe healing happens not only in stillness, but also in community, movement, and in connection with the natural world, which reflects resilience back to us.
The Sunny Healing Center is remote, real, and deeply connected to its history landscape. The weather shifts quickly, the land carries history, and the air feels expansive. You don’t need to arrive with all the answers, just with openness. You will be met there.

In 1976 a 28 year old mother of two and her partner were wrongfully sentenced to death by the Florida courts for the murder of two police officers. Sunny Jacobs would not taste freedom again for 17 years, by which time her two children were estranged, her parents were dead, and her partner had been executed.
To read: About Time
Law and justice are not always one and the same. On the 27 November 1980, Peter Pringle waited in an Irish court to hear the following words: ‘Peter Pringle, for the crime of capital murder … the law prescribes only one penalty, and that penalty is death.’ The problem was that Peter did not commit this crime. Facing a sentence of death by hanging, Peter sought the inner strength and determination to survive. When his sentence was changed to forty years without remission he set out to prove his innocence. Fifteen years later, he is finally a free man. This is his story.
