Making inroads with inmates before they get out:

• Seven + years of direct onsite education and formation

• More than 500 inmates studying civics, ethics, literature, and economics

• Evidence-based programming: Zero disciplinary reports among 80% of the inmates who completed all four courses (facility report provided by the Florida Department of Corrections)

• 100 + inmates are on our waiting lists 

• Decline in prison violence leading to safer environments for security personnel 

• Reduction of boredom and intellectual stagnation

• Sensible preparation of inmates reentering society

Tracking reentry impact in South Florida and beyond:

• Saving taxpayers over $2.1 million dollars

• Longer sentence inmates (15-20 years) reentering society are having positive community impact

• Former inmates are successfully employed in transportation, manufacturing, facility maintenance, landscaping, automotive, and non-profit outreach 

• Creating safer neighborhoods through continuous contact with program graduates

In 2022, our college program was launched at South Bay Correctional Facility

• 20 incarcerated students selected for accredited courses through Huntington Junior College 

• Course credits are eligible for transfer and will count toward a degree

• We are working to expand the program to offer inmates associates degrees that will improve prison culture and expand opportunities for released inmates

Your donation educates and prepares inmates for successful reentry into society and a life of true freedom.
