Mission
Mission Statement
To educate and increase awareness among public officials, the media and the public
at large about the 3R’s that affect previously incarcerated persons who are returning
home and the positive benefits of reducing their recidivism. And, to interact with
and support groups who are actively involved with facilitating them.
Reforms: To report on sentencing, parole and prison reform including alternative
sanctions and determinant sentencing and how they affect recidivism. To update with
information regarding legislative efforts towards those reforms.
Rehabilitation: To report on success of programs both during incarceration
and post incarceration that correlate highly to reduction of recidivism. To report on
effects of prison conditions as they relate to those efforts.
Re-Entry: To report evidence of successful re-entry programs. Fiscal issues that
prohibit success. Consequences. Community support. Increase Public Safety. Myths.
Collateral damage to families. Employment. Effects of laws such as Three Strikes,
Megan’s, AWA and Jessica’s Laws.

Goals:
Our goal is to create a new public awareness about recidivism and its components so
that the programs for those returning home can succeed.
Our goal is not to create another prison reform or re-entry program.
Our goal is to have the people and the Legislature informed. We want the public to
understand that re-incarcerating an individual can affect the amount of budget
available for education or social benefits.
We believe an informed public will also allow their legislators to make the tough
decisions and to seek alternative solutions to all issues.
Facts:
Each year at least 650,000 individuals will be released from state prisons and will be
returning home. Parole services are stretched thin and resources are diminished.
The prisoners have served longer sentences and were incarcerated under the
punishment penal code vs. the rehabilitative system of the past. The mentally ill and
substance abusers have been released virtually untreated. Changes must be made.
