Incarceration in America
The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world with 737 prisoners per 100,000 individuals as of July 2017. This surpasses the per capita incarceration rate of the Russian Federation and China combined.
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 partners willing to mentor, support, and/or employ justice-impacted individuals. We assign our students Senior Partners while they are still incarcerated and upon release provide TRP Associates with meaningful financial support and, perhaps most importantly, employment opportunities with employers who have been identified as felon friendly, second chance employers.
