“We are dedicated to empowering and supporting individuals with criminal records in their successful reintegration into society, reducing recidivism, and fostering a safer and more inclusive community.”
Our mission is centered around providing comprehensive resources and assistance to felons during their transition from incarceration to life outside of prison. We recognize the unique challenges faced by individuals with criminal records and aim to address their needs in order to promote lasting positive change.
By offering a range of services, including education, job training, counseling, and access to essential resources, we strive to equip felons with the skills and support necessary to rebuild their lives. We believe that everyone deserves a second chance and that by providing opportunities for personal growth and development, we can reduce the likelihood of relapse into criminal behavior.
Furthermore, we are committed to fostering a sense of community and inclusivity. We actively collaborate with local organizations, businesses, and community members to facilitate the successful reintegration of felons into society. By promoting understanding, empathy, and acceptance, we aim to break down the barriers that often hinder the reentry process and create a more supportive environment for individuals seeking to rebuild their lives.
Overall, our nonprofit is driven by the belief that with the right support and opportunities, individuals with criminal records can transform their lives and become positive contributors to society. Through our efforts, we aspire to reduce recidivism rates, promote social justice, and build a safer, more inclusive community for all.
Over 10,000 ex-prisoners are released from America‘s state and federal prisons every week and arrive on the doorsteps of our nation’s communities. More than 650,000 ex-offenders are released from prison every year, and studies show that approximately two-thirds will likely be rearrested within three years of release. The high volume of returnees is a reflection on the tremendous growth in the U.S. prison population during the past 30 years. For the communities to which most former prisoners return (communities which are often impoverished and disenfranchised neighborhoods with few social supports and persistently high crime rates), the release of ex-offenders represents a variety of challenges.
Research shows that consumers in this industry primarily focus on the following factors when making purchasing decisions:People with criminal records frequently encounter discrimination that makes it difficult for them to find a place to live and steady work, leaving homelessness as their only option.
Giving prisoners access to education programs, mental health counseling, and addiction therapy may help them overcome some of the difficulties they have when they reenter society.
No matter how minor the offense is, having a criminal record burdens people and makes it difficult for them to integrate back into society. There are many reintegration programs available to make it easier for ex-offenders to reintegrate into society.
The goal of reentry programs and courts in the US is to assist ex-offenders in effectively “reentering“ society after their incarceration in order to lower recidivism, increase public safety, and save money.
