Over time, we have developed and fine-tuned programs that have proven to transform countless lives. Our programs are different because we offer “wrap-around” services. Our work doesn’t end with inmates in jail. We also help them as they reenter society and supply mentorship and support to their children and families.
Reduced Recidivism (Rearrests)
While 44% of released inmates will be rearrested within one year nationally, only 11% of those who have come through our programs have reoffended.
Thousands Reached by our Programs
Throughout our history, thousands have participated in one or more of our programs. And the impact goes beyond the inmate—their families are affected too.
Improved Lives
Our clients (former inmates who have come through our programs) tell us they have meaningful employment, their families are reunited, and several now work to help others who suffer the things they endured.
We cannot continue to reform lives, rebuild families, restore communities, or renew hope without the support of the many volunteers, community and government partners, and corporate sponsors who have made our work possible for nearly 40 years. But our needs continue to be great.
To maintain our momentum, and as we expand our reach, we will always need more support. It will take all of us, working together to create positive change. It will take people like you.
