Our Vision
The United States is the world leader in incarceration, locking up more people per capita than any other nation. Each year, more than 600,000 individuals are released from State and Federal prisons.
Within three years of their release, 50% are arrested, convicted and incarcerated again at a cost of $ 300,000 per person (Recidivism).
Our vision to reduce recidivism by increasing high school graduation, job training and incentivize employers to hire - retain former inmates.
Proposed Objectives and Programs:
- State by State initiatives.
- Reduce recidivism rate from 50 % to 10%.
- Fund High School GED graduations & job training.
- Fund rehab and halfway house properties.
- Fund prison job training and employer incentives.
- Fund prison farms and environmental restoration programs.
