The Redemption Project

The Redemption Project was formed to serve an unfulfilled need in our society. Other organizations that address various aspects contributing to recidivism rates in the United States already exist, however none devote their focus to finding corporate partners willing to mentor individuals while they are still incarcerated and provide these individuals with meaningful employment opportunities upon their release.

The Redemption Project believes that addressing the basic needs of meaningful employment for prisoners upon their release will have a positive impact on breaking the cycle of recidivism. Our three stage program of Educate, Advocate and Support is designed to meet the needs of inmates throughout their reentry process. In addition, we believe an individual who has the dignity, self-respect, and economic benefits of meaningful employment can help address the roadblocks related to addiction, education and housing.
